Can't insert 'read more' tag on a post

  • mmircetic · Member ·

    Hi,

    I am using the cubic theme and after I added ‘read more’ tag on one of my posts it just wont show up once updated. I am 100% sure I am doing it right before I’ve done it before on different sites. Is this option disabled on the post option of this theme?

    Thanks!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello, the “read more” tag is to shorten your blog post when displayed on your home or archive pages not hide part of the content on a post page. Since cubic appears to only use the post title for links, that theme doesn’t appear to be compatible with the “read more” tag.

    Ok, thanks! Can that be altered by hiding the text via css?

    I believe it would take a combination of CSS (to hide part of the content) and Javascript (to reveal the content when a link was clicked). However, for security reasons, Javascript isn’t allowed on WordPress.com hosted blogs.

    Hi there! As micawbr mentioned, the More tag won’t have an effect in Cubic, because the blog index isn’t designed to show any of the post content. There isn’t a way to change that display. The More tag is only designed to work on the blog index, not single posts, and there isn’t a way to change that because it’s a core feature built into WordPress.

    If you’re trying to split single posts into more than one page, you could try the pagination tag instead:

    Would this do the trick for you?
