I never made the More tags work. I must be doing something wrong. Nothing happens at all when clicking More…

How do I get it to not display the image? When I use this tag it will display my images too and not just the text.

Thanks.

So, I can’t believe I never commented on this post before. It’s been immensely helpful for me for almost a year, now (i.e. Introducing the idea, and then reminding me how to do it five months later on a new theme when I’m too lazy to look at older sites)!

For those of you wondering how to no-follow the “Read more about” part, have you considered putting it in an image? Just write text to match background/text color (tough if you change your theme, later, but whatever) and do… ” . get_the_title… etc.

I really hope this shows up.

what about “more” tag showed by the_excerpt()?

this function shows only 55 words and if the excerpt or the text before is longer, then the function will show [...]

who do you edit this?

I am curious if you have something like this:

Continue Reading: » » ” . get_the_title(”, ”, false)); ?> /div>

How would you nofollow the continue reading part of the link.

If you reply would you mind emailing me the answer?

[...] What does this mean? Since you are using WordPress, make use of the awesome tag. This tag allows you to show a post excerpt on the front page, and the entire post content on the permalink page. This helps readers scroll through your blog faster, finding more posts that interest them, and it keeps your text-heavy content from looking so overwhelming. There are also some SEO benefits in using the ‘more’ tag.3 For additional information, check out Post Excerpts and the More Tag in WordPress. [...]

Hi Alex,

Does WordPress keep php from executing in template files other than the header? Here is why I ask.

I am trying to track some advertising to my blog, so I setup unique urls similar to:
http://www.myblog.com?kw=2

I then included this at the top of my template page header.php.

Then when I attempted to echo the value for kw in my theme using , it didn’t work. It would only work if I tried to echo in the header and wouldn’t work in the sidebar.php or any other theme files.

Is there a way to work around this?

Thanks,

Brent

Thank you for this post. Personally i prefer the more-link method because it is customizable for every single post.
@Rarst (and all) Nevertheless the underlying link structure is NOT customizable, so i’ve written a small plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....-morelink/) to reconstruct the link structure the way you want – remove #more-anchor, remove/add css class(es), add nofollow – whatever you want. The filter takes the original more-link from the content, extracts the important parts and replaces the link with a pattern you can define in the admin panel.

Rarst: I don’t see the auto-scroll as a downside. Basically, after you’ve finished reading the post excerpt, you’re supposed to continue reading from where you left off, in our case, from the “more” marker.

Stefan: Indeed, there are SEO advantages too with using that method.

Completely agree with you. Most people really don’t know that if you put “Read more about TITLE” or something like that you actually strengthen the link, thus helping in seo optimization for direct access to the linked page.

I am using “more” separator at my blog and it works excellent.

Only one minor issue with it that “more” link scrolls to separator when opening single post page. Some people dislike that. I have seen plugin that disables that anchor but not using it yet (as always I am trying to keep things simple).
