more link…

  • hi….
    I can’t make the more link in posts on the index page work at all!
    The methods i am trying work in another WP blog, no problem.

    I can create the “more” link and customise it, but it just does nothing, the hover of a mouse displays “www.URL/#more-112” in the address bar. which looks like it’s missing something to me! (page#?)

    Permalink structure seems solid, but could this be the issue?
    ( i have a custom structure ending with “/”)

    Trouble is i didn’t create the site, i am editing for a friend who had it done for him….
    I may be missing a foible somewhere!

    Thanks for any help – I have trawled the topics available in the WP sites and found nothing to help.

  • How do you customise the more link?

    resetting permalinks to default has the effect of making the more link work, but only showing the pre-more tag copy in the new page…

    slowly slowly!

    URL/?p=237#more-237
    is now in the address bar, which is i suppose progress.

    I know that Codex page, but what exactly was your customisation?
    But do other (internal) links work? It might help if you pointed us to your website.

    The more links were simply made chunkier and spaced a little to make them more obvious to the reader… so nothing complex there.

    https://www.shakespeareontoast.com/ is the site. links in-site work fine, yes.

    This appears to be a permalink/htaccess issue at a guess. The more link will now jump to the required post page, but the post is still truncated at the position of the “more” link as on the original page jumped from.

    Permalinks are back at “default” for now, without this the link failed to do anything at all. but i think he (site owner) likes the nice URLs

    I think i’ve seen this issue in the codex somewhere, but can’t find it now of course!

    I have this…

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
<div class="item entry" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="itemhead">
<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<div class="date"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> </div>
<?php the_content(__('Continue reading...  &raquo;')); ?>

    When viewing the page that results from clicking the “more” tag link I still get the “continue reading…” link and no content after it from the post… I’m STUMPED!
