Read more on pages WordPress

Question

I know that this topic is already on the Forum but the solution simply don't work for me.

I have a few pages where I would like to split content using read more.

So I have done recommended hack by adding global

$more; and $more = 0; the_content();

and everything seem to look ok although every time I click on read more link nothing happens and following result appear in my browser:

http://www.mysite/#more-15

Could anyone help me?

Many Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Better to use <!--nextpage--> if you want to split content. See theme requirement: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_link_pages

I don't understand why people keep wanting "Read more" to work in Pages.

Answer 2

The only reason to use a $more variable is if you feel the need to edit the 'read more' text that displays automatically. If you just want to chunk it up and don't care what it says...

<?php the_excerpt ?>

in place of wherever the content is called. So, for instance a standard loop on a page that displayed all posts as excerpts would look like this...

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
// You can shove other things like voting and meta data or whatever in here...
<?php the_excerpt ?>
// You can shove other things like voting and meta data or whatever in here...
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
