Post a teaser on ever post

  • emcgarry2 · Member ·

    In wordpress.com is there a global teaser setting to let every post to have a ‘read more’ after 100 or 200 characters? I have a lot of post and don’t want to have to add <!–more–> to every one.

    Thanks

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

    Note that “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it. It can only be embedded into individual posts and pages.

    Also, note that the setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.

    If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication in the exact spot you want the content to split off.

    The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the content does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.

    Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. Use this filter for active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts
