hi rrohde

Can you try clicking the HTML button bellow and paste this <!--more--> between the 1st and 2nd paragraph that you want for your extended post.

did you try to switch skin? if it works using another skin or theme, then you got your self a theme issue.

goodluck

Thanks for your reply, jmcausing.

The "<!--more-->" line is already visible in HTML mode; do you know if there's anything else needed within HTML besides this initial line? There's no need for some sort of terminating line or so?

Well, about the skins: it seems as if any skin that I tested with the extended post on the first page has the same problem and doesn't get loaded all the way.

Now I am stuck, as I really like having that feature working.

The only thing I could think of is that I was copy and pasting the article into the wysiwyg editor first in one chunk and then inserted the "!M" button's function; I did not type, then inserted "!M" and then continued typing... but I assume that wouldn't cause this behavior.

Just a quick note: I find it odd that the extended article works just fine in its category, however it does not work on the front page (the blog home).

Check your settings for admin > blog settings > [/blog] > seo

Thank you ¥åßßå;

Within the SEO tab I found the "Post contents:" field which I switched to "Post excerpts" from the initial (and probably default setting) "Standard post contents (stopping at "<!-- more -->")" - and it showed the text as expected now on the front page.

However, now the post does not expand at all when I click on the "more" link.

Now I am even more confused....

Can you screenshot all of the settings on the seo page for your blog?

¥åßßå,

here you go. I have to say though that I think it is working now, as some test posts I did do not exert that behavior anymore, however, maybe you can give these screenshots a once over and share your findings as to what the right settings might be for what I'd like to achieve?

Ok, your settings look ok, try visiting admin > tools > urm, one of the tabs > clear pre-rendered cache, and seeing if that cures your old posts.

¥

Done!

Thank so much for your help, ¥åßßå.

Just in case others have to do the same:

"Delete pre-renderered item cache" can be found within the admin-backend > Tools > Misc.

No worries ;)
