But again there was a problem: There is no &#8220;read more&#8221; feature\/setting anymore. Searching for &#8220;read more&#8221; does not show the core block. There seems to be something that blocks the core block in showing up for the post block in the inserter. It couldn&#8217;t be nested in this block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a brave move (after ChatGPT was encouraging me to do so), I tried to add this in the code view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just added this line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;!-- wp:read-more {\"content\":\"Read more\"} \/--&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it worked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So it is not a problem per se. Only an inserter bug. Maybe you can get this fixed, so this could be added with the inserter in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the best<br \/>Torsten<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19004184","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19004184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19004184\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19004184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
