    Hi there I′ve managed to make a page that loads recent post of different categories. code looks like this:

    <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=8&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
             <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
             <?php the_content('Read more'); ?>
            <?php endwhile; ?>

    The post with cat id 8 has a more tag in it, but i don’t see the read more link in the output can someone help me out on this one?

  • Try this before the_content

    <?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>

    <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=8&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
             <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
             <?php the_content('Read more'); ?>
            <?php endwhile; ?>

    Hmm; what about:
    global $wp_query;
    $wp_query->in_the_loop = true;

    I’m sorry i’ve put in a post that doesn’t have the more tag in it DUH!
    Could you tell me what the extra code does?

    THIS CODE WORKS!

    <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=5&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
             <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
			<?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
             <?php the_content('Read More..'); ?>
            <?php endwhile; ?>
