Something I haven’t figured out yet is the MORE feature of WordPress.

Sounds stupid, I know. You say there is an icon in the Write Post section that does it for you. Well, it doesn’t work right for me. Maybe I am stupid, everyone else can split a post and it shows (more…) and when clicked it takes people to the rest of the article.
When I use the “Split post with More Tag“, it does work inasmuch as it splits the post. There is no lead in to the rest of the article, no obvious link. I have overcome this by adding a “more” to the comments part of the php. That way, if someone clicks it they will be taken to the full post. The problem is that it takes people to the comments section so that they have to navigate up to pick up where they left off.
Â
This is bothersome to me, and I know that it must be a nuisance to the reader.
This is one reason I don’t use it more often. Even though most of my posts are short, there are times I need to be able to split the page effectively.
Â
What is the problem? Is it me, or the Theme I am using, or something else? If you can help with this little irritating problem, please let me know.

Update: I tried the “more” on the PolBlog and the Freeware Blog, same version of WP, different Themes, and it worked just fine on both. There must be a quirk of some kind with this Theme. Gotta figure that out.

When you click on the [More] link or use the tag , copy what you see. Next up, go to your style.css file (or whatever it’s called) and hit CTRL+F. Paste the copied text into here and hit Enter.
Basically your function is working but the style you’re using is not displaying it in the way you want it to. It’ll probably be in the .css file or in the post.php or whatever your theme uses.
Drop me a line back if you have a problem.
Hey Mike,
I worked on it for a couple of hours. I found out what it was by comparing one of my other blogs php to this one.
It is in the index.php the Theme left the ?php contact blank. I filled in the blank with what I wanted and now it seems to work fine.
Thanks for your input.

Your timing is impeccable. I just figured this out myself about 3 hours ago using the same method you did.
Hey Gitr,
I just wrote a post about the whole ordeal today.
We should have put our heads together long ago and saved us both a lot of aggrivation.
Thanks,
Joe
