read more on my news page

Just ahead of the query_posts() for the page, insert:

global $more; $more=0;

Then, insert the more-tag in the posts.

Hi my custom news page has no content.
I have set this up so I can have a different page as my index, spo I am unsure where you mean to put the code.
I am editing the theme twentyten so do I put the code you suggest into
the functions.php ?

Thanks

I am confused. The twentyten theme already has support for the ‘Read More’.

You say the custom news page has no content. And you want a different page as your index. Please explain further, with some examples, if possible.

Sorry yes I have set up a custom index page rather then have the news stories as the front page.

so I had to create a blank page to hold my news story

the site I am working on is

Thanks for your time and help

OK, is your question ‘How do I use the “Read More” in these posts?’

If so, you edit a post, place the cursor where you want the separator, and click the ‘more’ icon in the edit bar above the text.

Wow its that easy I had not idea I thought it would be code I would have to add.

Thanks for your time
I don’t suppose you know how to add the same sort of thing to the recent stories widget in the side bar as I would love to have a line under the tittle on the sidebar?

That one will require some coding. Also, I suspect that because the sidebar is so narrow, adding a line will not look very appealing because it would wrap several times.

ok
I will use it on the other wordpress site I am doing.

Cheers
