John, thanks so much for this one. I searched high and low trying to figure out why the Evermore plugin wasn’t working with my new theme. Once I tried this, I got it working.

It seems that the last posts here on the subject are 9 months old. Is there any new information on this?

Thanks… Dan

Have you added the <– more –> tag to the post content itself?

This is not something I had ever come across before, but I am glad someone beat me to it and has a working solution!

(Love the header picture by the way! haha)

For users of 2.7+ that are using this with a custom query in a static page use the examples at:

worked for me.

Wow! Thank you so much! I’ve been searching all night how to do this and nothing else worked.

This is absolutely brilliant. I have a similar setup on my blog, a separate page that I’m using more like a personal blog than the main site and didn’t want all of the post on that page.

When I couldn’t figure out why the ‘more’ tag wasn’t working, I started doing google searches.

Mmhhh…like Courtney here says, I am using WP2.7.1 also and somehow I do not get the ‘more’ tag to work.

There finally is a ‘read more’link at the position I want, but when clicking on this link nothing happens.

I have followed many instructions, besides the one mentioned here, but none of the advice seems to be use full.

Is this because of WP2.7.1?

I really would like to know how this works?!

Argh — I saw the article you referenced — and copied and pasted both his and then yours… and neither work. The full blog post continues to be displayed — no more link. I am using 2.7.1 — do you think there are any reasons this won’t work? Thanks.

And how can I do the same thing for my RSS-Feed? I try to figure it out the whole day, but don’t know how.

Holy cow. Thanks so much. I could not figure out how why the more tag wasn’t working on a custom page. You rock man.
