Read More link leads nowhere on page

@ Mike Schinkel I want to be able to use the WordPress <–more–> on pages using the wysiwyg editor. I have managed to make the read more tag show on a page with the code indicated above. Only now the read more link does NOT work. I goes back to the same page, but keeps on hiding the rest of the text which makes the read more tag a useless. I am considering using the_excerpt() function now as I seem not to be able to solve this.

I tried the excerpt function on the page to show a link to the rest of the content on the page using the_excerpt() function <?php the_excerpt(); ?> on the page and a filter in the functions.php:

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
return ' 	<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">' . 'Lees de rest van deze pagina...' . '</a>';

}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

It created a link going to the exact same page, but did not reveal the rest of the page’s content.

Well solved it by creating links in the tinymce editor. Links that go to child pages that are hidden from the menu. Not the greatest solution, but it works
