Hello there,

i just installed the catch everest theme and are configuring the site. but now i want to use the homepage just for the slider, and have my blog elsewhere.

all working fine, but the “read more” function does not work on a page just yet.

i found on the web that i have to add some code, i cant figure out where however.

Can anyone help me?

Best regards Peter

@Pete7feet: Add in your site url. So, that I can check in. To add another page as Blog. You can just set from “Settings => Reading” and in “Front page displays”, select “A static page (select below)” and then in “Posts page” choose the page you want to show as blow.

If you are using “Full Content Display” in “Appearance => Theme Options => Layout Options => Content Layout”. Then it will show full text and you need to break the content to show more. But if you choose “Excerpt/Blog Display”, it will show the excerpt text with more.

@Sakin thank you for your fast reply. i got the blog working, but the excerpt settings does not work for me. i only post pictures most of the time, and want to display the first two and then the rest after the read more.

the link is: blog

i found something on the web, but i am quite a noob with wordpress and don’t know where to put it in the code.

codex wordpress at the bottem in the How to use Read More in Pages section.

hope you can point me in the right direction.

@Pete7feet: In “Appearance => Theme Options => Layout Options => Content Layout” choose “Full Content Display” and then split content with more tag. See this on how to add more tag http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

@Sakin: i am sorry to bother you again. i did include the <!–more–> tag in the posts that are on the blog page. however the more tag does not appear and work on a page.

what i found above is that i should include some code within the loop , and what i actually am asking is where is that loop and where do i put the text. i can not find it in editor.

[Sakin]

@Pete7feet: It should be pretty simple, you don’t need to edit any loop. You just need to add that in your editor. Can you show me the link of the post where you have added more tag then I can check in.

[Pete7feet]

@Sakin, the blog is found as shown in a previous post under the link “blog” the articles that have a <!–more–> tag are “bekleding” and the one that starts with “bagagerek” beneath the two larger pictures there is the tag. it is not visible in the blog, but in the editor it is.

Please notice that the blog page is not at my homepage, it is a different page. that is where it goes wrong. thats why i should place some code. but where?

Hope this clarifies it a bit.

[Sakin]

@Pete7feet: Oh you are using Blog Page template. Sorry I found the issue. For now you can edit the page-blog.php and add the following code just below get_header();

global $more; 
$more = 0;

and then we will update this in new version update.
