...read more?

I've used the "More Tag" and it works nicely, but I'm looking for something which is more automatic so I wouldn't have to edit all the posts to have the "read more...". Plus, to limit the post to show a maximum amount of characters before the "read more..." is shown. I want it to show only PART of the post on the Index and to show read more. At the moment, It shows the full post on index page.

I have tried using the option to show "Summary" of the post and it doesn't do anything.

Is there anything which will show a maximum amount of characters of the post on the index?

 

I use The Excerpt Reloaded to limit the number of characters in on my homepage.

 

How do you use it? I activated it but don't see any options etc or documentation from that link.

 

I have the same question too

 

Are there any other mods/plugins?

 

In your index.php or home.php replace:

<?php the_content(); ?>

with

<?php the_excerpt_reloaded(); ?>

More information about some additional parameters for it are HERE.

 

Thanks, I'm going to try this as soon as possible and let you know how it goes!

 

It works like a charm! Cheers! + Rep Given!

 

Glad to hear you got it working!

 

Do you by any chance know how i can make it allow the <br /> tags? At the moment, all the text is one paragraph and does not use the <br /> tags.

 

It has an 'allowed tags' parameter. Try:

<?php the_excerpt_reloaded('<br />'); ?>
