Hi support,
I have inserted a ‘More’ tag in my post and it doesn't show when I display the post. i.e. The whole post text gets displayed.
Many thanks for you support :)
Hi there,
Not quite sure what you mean. Where are you adding the more tag? At the end of the post?
It is only supposed to be used when you want to show the HTML of the content:

Sounds like you might be looking for excerpt instead?

Hi Leo,
Thanks for your quick answer
I'm adding the "more tag in the middle of the text as shown here
Did I overlook something ?
What's your setting for content type here?

Here it is
When I Use "excerpt" instead of "full" it doesn't work either.

Can you provide a link to the page in question?
You can edit the original topic and use the private URL field.
Here it is,
Hmm your site is loading a blank screen for me:

Can you double check?
Sorry Leo,
This is the link of the page inside the editor
Is that OK ?
Sorry for the hassle
Hmm that doesn't really help.
Can you provide the link (not image) to the main blog page?
Without having to login preferably.
OK Leo, It does work. I had overlooked something
Sorry for the hassle
Thanks for your dedicated support.
May I ask what you overlooked?
All my old posts show the "read more button" below but newest post doesn't anymore. The newest post didn't show the excerpt either but that I could temporarily solve by having Wordpress display the first 55 words of the post.
Maybe the problem with the "read more button" you had is the same as mine.
Hi Sandra,
Sorry I missed your post before.
