According to the Codex page for the_content()
,
The <!--more--> quicktag will not operate and is ignored in Templates, such as single.php, where just one post is displayed.
It seems, unless I am mistaken and something else is the cause, that it also does not operate when you have created a theme template that displays a list of blog entries in addition to the front page.
I made a seperate template which displays blog entries in the same format as your front page normally does, but only from a specific category, and MORE is not operating. It simply displays the entire post. Without using a truncate() or excerpt() function, is there any way I can get it to work with the_content
?
