WordPress: Custom “more…” text
Filed in: WordPress — September 16th, 2004
In WordPress, you type <!--more--> in content to separate content to another page. It will display a link with “(more…)” which bring you to follow part of content.
Not all people happy with the dull “more…” text. Thanks to ringmaster. He/She posted a simple trick for Per-post custom “(more…)”.
- In WordPress “index.php”, find:
<?php the_content(); ?>Replace the line with:
<?php
$somemore = ‘(more…)’;
$maybemore = get_post_custom_values(’more’);
if(count($maybemore) > 0) $somemore = $maybemore[0];
the_content(’‘.$somemore.’‘);
?> - At the post you want(in Advanced Editing mode) to have custom “more…” text, add a new Custom Field key called “more” and type in the value you want. It will replace “(more…)” with the value you entered.

Incidentally, while there’s no doubt that Word Press is something, I was irked by one simple initial point. Amidst all the hype nobody thought it fit to just say that it requirws a hosted website in some server to work.:!: Wasting the free Bloggers time, iow to look.
