Need help getting it to show

  • Hi and thanks in advance. I have installed the plugin and activated it. However, when I put the code:

    [read more=”Read more” less=”Read less”] The have a paragraph here

    [/read]

    I see the code portion and the paragraph. Can you tell me what else I need to do to make this work? We had a custom Theme made for us and I assume that is the problem. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Michael

    Hi.

    I guess that this is all about the characters used.

    Its not an ” – Its an ”

    So please paste the following:

    [read more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]The have a paragraph here[/read]

    Preferably using “TEXT” mode in post editor.

    Hi George,

    Thank you for the reply. However, I was able to fix this in the theme itself. The theme is custom so I’m not sure if this will apply to everyone. Anyway, here is the solution for me. There is a file in the theme called single.php which will show a single post on its own page. This bit of code was causing the issue:

    echo $post_content->post_content (which is not recommended)

    to this:

    echo apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $post_content->post_content );

    Now the plugin works as intended. Thanks a bunch for developing this!
