Does Pro Integrate this standard WordPress feature?

[kademcconville]

Hi Guys,

I am looking to use:

<!--more-->

In order to break up long text that can be expanded upon clicking the ‘Read More’ button.

Whilst this works in WordPress/Guttenburg text editor, it seems to be incompatible with Pro?

HTML editor:

Rich Text Editor:

But tis doesn’t appear on the front-end.

Would be interesting to hear your thoughts…

Hi @kademcconville,

The <!--more--> tags work perfectly with Pro, but it seems that it is not at all working with the WordPress default editor or Gutenberg also. It might be some issue with the WordPress itself, I will still test it and if anything found related to the theme will report into our issue tracker for further investigation by our development team.

Thanks for understanding

thanks for the investigation @tristup - something doesn’t seem right somewhere!

Hi @kademcconville,

I have investigated this and the <!--more--> tag is actually working. Commonly this tag is used on the blog posts page (like an excerpt). In the Theme Options > Blog, there is an option Full Post on Index if that is disable the Theme will use the Excerpt on the Blog posts page and ignore the <!--more--> tag.
However, if you enable the Full Post on Index, you will see that the <!--more--> tag is working.

Can you explain how do you plan to use the <!--more--> tag? We might give a better workaround.

Thanks,

Hey!

I was looking at a function which I have now achieved with some .js …

‘View/Read More’ long text cut off.

Thanks for the assistance anyway.

Hi @kademcconville,

I see it’s like an accordion element. <!--more--> tag is not for that, glad you found a workaround.

Cheers,
