Problem with post display – continue reading

  • I have set up a child theme based on the twentyten theme. When making a post, however, only three lines are displayed before I get a ‘continue reading’ tag which does not show up in the html of the post. There is a photo at the start of the post which is only displayed when ‘continue reading’ is clicked. I really want a ‘More tag’ after the photo but when I try this nothing happens. The site is:

    I am beginning to think I must have tweaked something in one of the files without realising the consequences. Any help or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

    are you referring to the category archive pages?

    if so, edit loop.php in the child theme;
    find (this occurs more than once, change at least the one nearest to the end of the file):

    <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>

    and change to:

    <?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for search. ?>

    Thank you this worked a treat! I can now put in the ‘more tag’ exactly where I want.

    I don’t remember changing anything here by mistake so this must have been the original coding. If this is the case then I am a little confused about why it worked like it did. Is this the way I would expect a category archive to display unless I make the changes you gave me. Can you explain?

    not necessary – it totally depends on how the theme is programmed;
    although it seems to be quite a common feature in themes only to show excerpts in archive pages.
