More Information More Information
If the quicktag <!--more--> is used in a post to designate the “cut-off” point for the post to be excerpted, the_content() tag will only show the excerpt up to the <!--more--> quicktag point on non-single/non-permalink post pages. By design, the_content() tag includes a parameter for formatting the <!--more--> content and look, which creates a link to “continue reading” the full post.
- Notes about <!--more--> :
- No whitespaces are allowed before the “more” in the <!--more--> quicktag. In other words <!-- more --> will not work!
- The <!--more--> quicktag will not operate and is ignored in Templates where just one post is displayed, such as single.php.
- Read Customizing the Read More for more details.

Overriding Archive/Single Page Behavior
If
the_content()
isn’t working as you desire (displaying the entire story when you only want the content above the<!--more-->
Quicktag, for example) you can override the behavior with global $more.If you need to display all of the content:
Ignore the “More” on a Sticky Post
This will ignore the more tag in a sticky post–meaning it will display the full content even if there is a
<!--more-->
in the content, but for all other posts it will display a more link.Expand full source codeCollapse full source code
Include Title in “More”
Show “Continue reading ACTUAL POST TITLE” when the
Quicktag is used.
Designating the “More” Text
Displays the content of the post and uses “Read more …” for the more link text when the
Quicktag is used.
If the content you want to display does not belong to the post declared globally you can use get_extended() which accepts the content as first parameter.
get_extended($content)
