Thread: Separate "Read more" from "php the_content"

link?

I don't have a link at the moment, just doing some testing and research. Basically, is there a php string in WP to call the "read more button", which is separated from the get_content string? E.g. this: <?php the_content('Read more &raquo;'); ?> Becomes: <?php the_content(); ?> and this <?php ('Read more &raquo;'); ?>

yes, it's possible to do that. but i need to see your theme and your codes. until then i cannot tell you anything about the way you can do it.

nah, this is probably what you want. Peter

@kiano.ro: I posted the code, I'm basically looking to separate the two, there isn't more to it, it's not theme specific. Is there a code which resembles <?php ('Read more &raquo;'); ?> (without the "get_content" part)?

In your new div, but within the same loop, put: <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>Read More</a>

@jrav001: Thanks for the tip, it works, however, it always displays the "Read more" button, even if read more isn't used in the post.

You can add code to the string.... <?php the_content('<div>Read more &raquo;</div>'); ?>

If you're trying to end the content DIV and start a new one, then you could use.. <?php the_content('</div><div>Read more &raquo;'); ?> The first closing DIV will close the current DIV (the one the content is in i assume), then open a new, which would be closed by the contents regular closing tag.. So rather then having.. <div> some content <div> more </div> </div> you'd end up ...

@t31os_ Yep, that's exactly what I mean. I solved it partially by doing this: <?php the_content(''); ?> And then this, in a separate div: <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more</a> However, a new problem emerges: the "Read more" button will always be present, linking to the post, whether <!--more--> is specified in the post or not.
