@ajmattic, thanks for catching that bit.

If you would like to insert "continue reading" into a post you can do this by inserting a more tag:

You will need to do this in the HTML view of your editor. Once you have changed to the HTML editor, look for this code:

To customize the message, simply add a space after <!--more, and turn it into something like this…

You can choose a theme that does that by default, or has it as an option. There are a few that do this. Inuit Types comes to mind.

You could also take a read through this post by Panos on excerpts, but if you get this to work, it will not automatically insert a "read more" link. People would have to click on the post title to see the entire post. It might be that you would have to change themes to use the excerpt function.

Is there a way to get post formatting to default to adding the "continue reading" tab so that you have to click through for longer posts? If not, how do you set this up manually for each post? I'm using Pilcrow, if that matters. Thanks in advance.

That is correct. It's a common question. When you look at that unique post's page, you don't see the jump.

I find the documentation on this feature confusing, but with your explanation I think I get it. Say I write a post called my-post containing a  tag and it's the top post on my blog site. Then if someone accesses that post via the URL

mysite.wordpress.com

they will see a jump. However, if they access it via the URL

mysite.wordpress.com/yyyy/mm/dd/my-post

they will not see a jump. Is that right?

Regardless, pagination looks like it will work for what I want to do.

Oh, wait, you said in a Page? Then you'll definitely need to use Pagination. The More tag only works on Posts appearing on the front/home page of a site. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/nextpage/

justjennifer on "The more tag is broken"

justjennifer — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:20:45 +0000

You'll only see the results of the tag on the front page of the site, not in the post itself. If you need to break a long post into several sections, you can use Pagination.

If I insert a  tag into a page I'm composing for my blog on wordpress.com it does nothing. The page renders without a jump in the middle. This is true of both the preview and the published page.

This used to work. I have a blog page from January of 2011 that contained a  tag. It rendered correctly then, but I just went back and checked and it no longer renders correctly. I don't know when it broke.

Short of inserting the more tag before everything in the post, no.

clarebr on "More... jumps to wrong place on full post"

clarebr — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 06:30:36 +0000

Thanks for the quick response. I have now fixed them all so they go to the correct point. I found it a bit tricky to get the paragraph position right until I used the HTML view to insert "more" exactly in the blank line.

Is there any way to make it jump to the top of the post? Otherwise the reader might miss the featured photo.

thesacredpath on "More... jumps to wrong place on full post"

thesacredpath — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 05:41:45 +0000

Don't use it in the middle of paragraphs. Make a new blank paragraph below a paragraph and insert it there.

clarebr on "More... jumps to wrong place on full post"

clarebr — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 05:27:47 +0000

I have started using the "more" or "Continue reading" function. However, when I click on the link, it takes me to a point on the full post that is lower on the page than it is supposed to be. I would like to be taken to the top of the page so that the featured photo will be seen. If that's not possible, shouldn't it at least go to the point where the "more" is embedded, without the reader needing to scroll?

Thanks for your help.

karolynchelsey — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 18:21:07 +0000

I'm a selfhosted website and the theme I'm using doesn't allow the title of the blog post to be clickable. The only way to open the post in a new window/tab is to go to the Permalink or the to Read More after the jump. I know the html to insert into each post title but I don't want to have to add the code every single time I have a post. I was wondering if there was a code or something to enter into the theme. If you need more specifics let me know!

Thanks so much! :)

eternityinmotion on "Hovering menu item makes background image jump"

eternityinmotion — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 05:25:16 +0000

Firefox 5.0 is actually my default browser, and although I have now reset the program, the issue is still there. I also had a problem with my sub-sub menu, maybe you have seen that thread, but that is now fixed. Now the jumping has moved to merely when I hoover the sub menu item that has a sub-sub menu... Opera has the same issue, while Safari looks just fine. Well, I guess that if the problem lies with my system I don't have to bother...

I used Firefox 5.0 and went to your blog and hovered. I did not experience this at all. Which browser and version of it are you using? Have you tried any troubleshooting?

eternityinmotion on "Hovering menu item makes background image jump"

eternityinmotion — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 10:57:50 +0000

I use the default background image in Modularity Lite and I have a custom menu where one of the items has a sub menu. When I hover over that particular item the background image jumps a few mm. It does not happen when hovering the other menu items, and after clicking on the concerned menu item, the background image goes back to normal position on the new page. It is only during hovering it jumps. Very irritating bug. Any solution, anyone?

Hi. You can create "Return" links at the bottom of posts, but it will have to be done manually...

Or perhaps I misunderstand what you are trying to achieve?

hubwired on "Navigate within a page"

hubwired — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 19:52:04 +0000

I'm not sure if there is better way other than to create or post topics then "call" them from one's webpage.
I have a web page as a draft but it contains several subtopics. I haven't found a way to just link a main listing to allow me
to just click on the topic I want to read within the same page.

example:
Modern Languages (top / home)
English
Spanish
French, etc
English Language is blah blah
go back home
Spanish ...... blah blah
top
Thanks,

Can anyone having this problem try out this workaround?

From the Dashboard:

1. Click Posts then from the Edit Posts table, find a Post that you know is big enough to need to be scrolled in the editor window. Hover you mouse over the title of the post and click the Edit prompt that appears.

2. Once in the editor, click HTML .

3. Click Dashboard and if asked, confirm that you want to abandon editing.

4. Repeat step 1.

I find that the post is now editable without any jumping.

Let us know if it works for you - E&OE!

John

I realize now that all the information you are giving me is valuable and straight forward. My only problem is that I didn't know to type everything in the "HTML" side of the log. I have never done anything like this before, so I am just trying to figure this new language out. Thank you all for the help, I think I can take it from here.
