read more… Help

  • Ok so here is the scenario, you have posts displaying on your home page with “continue reading” at the end of each one. You click on continue reading and get the single.php page of the entire post.

    This is setting up and working great. Now I am wondering if I can modify so I can play with my content a bit.

    Is there a way to only show the content that has not been read yet on the single.php page? Meaning whatever content comes after the <!–more–> tag?

    The theory is having a large portfolio image on the original post, you click and you get the rest of the images and the text content that goes with it.

  • Good question Meg. I don’t get that far into the coding. I’d love to hear what other’s think.

    I’m sure there is a way. I’m sure the question is will you have to hire a coder to do it.

    Sorry, I didn’t get ) the_content() function shows the rest of post after the “cut-off” point, that you assign by <!–more–> tag. Do you want to hide at all the first part of post?

    Nah – I hand code all my sites it shouldnt be an issue oncenim directed in the write direction.

    I usually use WordPress for custom CMS sites and not for its blogging tools so I haven’t used the read more code often.

    I think so, but I’m not sure. I would have to check with my client.

    Awesome Meg – did you see vjpo’s response?

    If the task to show on the home page one image + some text, but on the post page to show other images (gallery) and full article, you can use the_excerpt() function (or custom fields feature) for text and the_post_thumbnail() for image. So, you can use completely different text and image on the home page and in post.
