Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Can't get "more" tag to function

Hi.

I'm using 3.4.4 on WP 2.8.4 and I can't get the "read more" function to work.
My site is http://mathmojo.com/chronicles

I have inserted:
Read the rest →
in the Atahualpa settings, and inserted the <!--more--> code into the html on my posts, but the entire posts appear on the home page.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help. I love your theme. If this gets solved, I will make a donation.

Yours truly,

Brian (a.k.a. Professor Homunculus at MathMojo.com/chronicles )

Where did you put the <!-- more --> in the first post?
What have you got set at ATO->Configure EXCERPTS->Posts or excerpts on HOME page?
and Show the first X posts on HOME page as full posts?

The excerpts is set to full post. I tried using 'excerpt only' but that chopped all of the posts off at 55 words, which isn't what I'm looking for.

I put the more tag on the first post right after the paragraph which reads
Commonly, someone I am helping will ask, " But what if we are not allowed to do it that way?" Recently someone wrote in:
I have "0" set for "Show the first X posts on HOME page as full posts?"

Wordpress 3.4.1, Atahualpa 3.7.7
The Custom Excerpts plugin does a nice job.

The problem is your more tag is inside html <p> </p> tags. The more tag won't work if it's inside any HTML tags. Go into HTML mode in the editor and strip out the HTML around the <!--more-->.

Brad,

That was a noble try, but alas there's not a single <p> in the whole post. The only html is after the more tag. There is a <blockquote> tag in the post, but the more tag is not within it.

Thanks for the effort though. Any more thoughts?

Brian
