When I open a post the "continue reading" function work correctly.
However when I access posts from Search by Category the posts with a "Continue Reading" function have that duplicated as in this link http://careersnews.ie/category/applications/

My site is http://www.careersnews.ie/


Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Go to ato->export/import settings and export your settings and attach to a reply

Hello

The settings are attached.

what happens if you disable ALL your plugin's at the same time?

(really…it took you a year???)

I didn't explain in the previous message. I have had a bad year of illness so a lot of things were left undone.

On the advice to disable all the plugins - I have never done this and wonder if it would collapse the site?

Do a full backup of the site ( something you should do on a regular basis) so you can recover it if something goes bad. Then turn the plugins off, chech the site and you can turn them on again.

If you're really nervous, after the backup. Restore the site to a test site and test shutting off the plugins in it

Hello
Afraid that won't work as I don't have a test version of the site. I do a full backup every day.
I have looked at the code in firebug but cannot see what is producing the duplicate text. Is there any other tool that might allow me to dig out the source of the duplication.

send me a PM with an admin ID/PW and I'll poke about

You should setup a test site…to test things out. Most hosts let you create sub-domains. If you created a subdomain called 'testsite', you would get to it with 'testsite.careersnews.ie'

Hi,

I sent on the details, just hoping that I got your PM address right.

Thanks

I didn't get anything - just click on my ID and an option should be send a private message

So…why are you getting duplicates??? Is there a bug? is your site haunted? or is it doing what you told it to do??? (want to guess before going on?????)

If you guessed it was doing what you told it to do…. you are right.

If you go to ATO->Configure EXCERPTS and look at the 'Custom read more' option this is what you will see:

now if you move your cursor to the red circle

and you click and drag to make the section bigger…look what we find.

it did exactly what you told it to do

(If I had a dollar for every time I've discovered the computer was doing what I told it to do and not what I wanted it to do, I'd be a rich man )
