Insert label "more ..." in a Post - WordPress

Sometimes the post we write are very large and, if published as they were created, may not fit well aesthetically to the eye. If our site shows, for example, 5 post per page and these are very long, at times our visitors leave the page because they have no flexibility when reading the title of the post and decide whether or not such leerl article.

Therefore, there is a way to cut our post and insert a label that says something like "Read the full article" or "more" or "See all the post", etc, in place that fit.

To do this, we position ourselves in the place that we will cut our post, and there will press the button on our menu called "Insert Tag" (more) '"which we will see in the image below:

Upon pressing this button will create a break in our post, and once published the same, we will see just where we were positioned to place the label "more" was placed a link which, when pressed, will show the full article we have written.

Very simple and delicate, right?

What I will explain below, must be taken with great care and pay lots of attention if they are encouraged to do so.

You can change the name of this label. For example, if you performed the above procedure and see the results they found that the label at the end of our post says "more" (in English "more") or (read more), and we want to change the name to something like "Read the rest of this article", we go to the menu "Appearance" and select "Editor".

“. Here we will meet all the files that comprise our blog, and we must first open the file "Single Entry (single.php)" in which we find a statement containing, in parentheses, the word that came under our post, in this case "more". Maybe they can find something like this:

<div class="entry">
<? Php the_content (__ ('more ...'));?>
</ Div>

If you can locate the sentence that contains the name of the label that appears below our post, can erase the word "more" and put what you want to appear instead. Save changes and go.

Then they should do the same procedure with the file "template main page (index.php)."

Remember not to change nothing but the word that represents our label.

  • Antonio says:

    I have tried to cut and insert a tag in a page and is not viable, although it appears the label insert tool does not work when refresh the page.
    Is it different to do in a post on a page?

    • Hi Antonio, is not unlike the process in the pages, although I found that some Themes (structures) do not fit the label "more" and show no effect.
      What you can try (if you do not cause major problems) is to change the current Theme for the default to see if it shows the change. It is very likely to see the cutting of the page, but there is a solution to this problem rather than modifying the source code of the structure you use, which must be modified by a programmer.

      Greetings!
