more ignored in custom posts page

adding
$more=0; before the loop corrects this

jrodgers, I’ve tried adding $more=0 before the loop, but without any success. Are you using get_posts()?

I’m using page.php. The page has a custom field that sets a related category. I’m grabbing posts for that category.
It’s working fine except for the more quicktag. Any suggestions?

<?php if (isset ($relatedcat)) { // if page has related category
  $more = 0;
  global $post; $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=99&category='.$relatedcat.'&order=ASC');
  if($myposts) {
  foreach($myposts as $post) {
  setup_postdata($post);
	?>

full code: https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1022004.

my code looks like this

<?php
query_posts(‘page_id=’.$_GET[‘page_id’]);
$more = 0;
?>

I am still have trouble getting the more tag to work. I’ve tried setting the more variable to 0 and to 1. Neither works on a custom page that uses a plug in to collect various posts (see this page).

Here’s the whole code for the page (let’s hope this posts):

<?php /* Template Name: Page allowing More Tag */ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<!-- This is using page-more.php -->
<?php if (have_posts()) :  while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
  <?php the_content(__('... read more here')); ?>
  <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
  <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit'), '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks!

try this

<?php /* Template Name: Page allowing More Tag */ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”content”>
<!– This is using page-more.php –>
<?php
query_posts();
$more = 0;
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content(__(‘… read more here’)); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php edit_post_link(__(‘Edit’), ‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

jrodgers, thanks so much for your suggestion.

It seems the more quicktag does not work with get_posts() even when using $more = 0.

It does work with query_posts() with $more = 0 even if you use page.php.

A note for people switching functions. Use category= with get_posts(). Use cat= with query_posts().

Next challenge: get tags working on my related posts displayed below my page’s content.

Here’s my query for posterity:

<?php if (isset ($relatedcat)) { // if page has related category
 $query= 'numberposts=99&cat='. $relatedcat.'&orderby=date&order=ASC';
 query_posts($query); // run the query
 global $more; $more = 0;
 while (have_posts()) : the_post();
 setup_postdata($post);
?>
<div class="post" >

$more = 0 did it for me. Thanks.
