More tag stopped working…

    The More tag on my index page was working fine, displaying “Continue reading ?,” as a link at the end of the excerpted sections (as determined by the F2 theme).

    Now, out of nowhere (I have not updated my theme or WordPress) I can’t control where the excerpt is, meaning if I move the tag it has no effect on the position, and the location of the truncation seems to be about 4-5 lines. Not only that, but instead of “Continue reading ?,” now it just shows “…”

    I checked my index.php, “Continue reading ?” is still there, and really how could it not be if I didn’t remove it? The only changes I have made recently were downloading a couple of plugins, and I deactivated those just in case. No luck.

    Anyone know what could change this other than a change to the code in my theme files?

    Here’s the code from my index.php:

    <div class="postentry">
	<?php the_content(sprintf(__('Continue reading ?', 'f2'), the_title('', '', false))); ?>
</div>

    Update: If I completely remove the More tag from a post, my post is still shortened and has “…” at the end. So suddenly something is controlling, or automatically shortening, the posts on my index page. What could do that? I checked everything in Settings, etc.

    Anyone?

    It definitely looks as though your posts are using the_excerpt() instead of the_content(). Look in your home template file for any reference to this.

    If you can’t find it post your home template file here and give us a link to it, then we can have a quick look through it.

    Oh and also try to disable all plugins and then see if the full post is displayed, then you know for sure it’s not a plugin that’s doing it!

    Thanks for the help! It was an update to Thubmnail for Excerpts that broke it. I’ll try disabling each plugin next time before I post…
