  • Aníbal, thanks for the feedback. Sorry I wasn’t able to test it against every other plugin — I wasn’t expecting any conflicts.

    It looks as if WordPress has garbled your comment. Could you redo it without using angle brackets? For example, use [p] instead of <p> and it should show up better. I need to rejig my comment system to handle code better. Maybe I will adapt my Code Markup plugin to handle comments.

    Yes, that ticket system doesn’t seem very stable unfortunately. I appreciate the time you spent helping me find this problem.

  • Thanks for this very useful plugin! I just have one problem. After clicking on a date on the calender some page-URL ?m=20059823 is opened and the posts of that date are shown. But unfortunately in that case evermore is not used. The full posts are shown.
    What went wrong? Thank you in advance

  • noriyasu, thanks for the feedback. Well, I’m afraid it works just fine for me when I set up my test blog like this. So let’s try to figure out what’s different about yours. First, it would be helpful if you would give me the URL of the date archive page where the problem occurs.

    Second, what theme are you using? The default WordPress theme uses excerpts instead of full posts on archive pages, so Evermore will have no effect in that case (you can change this by changing the_excerpt to the_content in archive.php if it exists).

    Otherwise, try adding a manual “more” to one of the posts, and see if that post shows up abbreviated or in full. This will help point me in the right direction.

    Thanks for using Evermore!

  • Hi there, that’s a great script, but I have jjust a question.
    How can I change a words “Read the rest of this entry »” ?
    Because I never find it.
    Can you help me?
    thanks :)

  • Marco, you can change this by editing your WordPress theme. For example, if you’re using the default WordPress theme, these files are in wp-content/themes/default/.

    Edit the file index.php. You’ll see the text “Read the rest of this entry &raquo;”. Change this to whatever you want.

    You may need to do the same thing in other files too if you’re using a differnet theme. Good luck!

  • thank you so much, I didn’t see it :D

  • I’ve activated the evermore plugin, but nothing happens. I am testing it with rss feed posts generated by Rss2Blog.
    I copied all the file text into Notepad and saved it as evermore.php using ’save as file type’ = all files. Is this correct?

    Brent | 5 October 2005
  • First–thank you–your plugins rock! :-D I do have a question, however…

    I’m noticing that on the Archive pages, instead of getting a “Read the rest of this entry »” link, I get an [...] and no link…

    Is this the expected behavior? Is there a way to change it so that I get the “Read the rest of this entry” on the archive pages as well?

    Thank you again! :-D

  • I got the plugin working after reloading it a couple of times. What a great script.
    The only thing I can’t get it to do now is give a preview of my Rss2Blog RSS posts. Is this a formatting issue with my posts?

    Brent | 5 October 2005
  • This evermore &/or less is exactly what I’ve been looking for. But, I have one problem .. my blogs are generally written like this style..

    BLOG TITLE / Perm Link
    some adsense code
    (h2)blog title heading with link to original source, if any(/h2)

  • oops? I must have hit some code to omit rest of my comment….
    …/continued!

    So anyway - is there a way to change the plugin to insert the break after the 2nd or 3rd paragraph? Because my title and link of my source is the first line of the text area, and then I give a blank line .. it thinks it is a paragraph and there is no teaser text.

    Thanks in advance.

    testing .. the code I used was `

    HART | 8 October 2005
  • Hart — I do have a souped-up version of Evermore that I use on other blogs. This version lets you specify which paragraph the break should follow, and also handles very short paragraphs (e.g. if the first paragraph is very short, then break after the second paragraph instead of the first.)

    This version (”More Evermore”) needs work before it can be released. Maybe I will have time soon to do it. Or maybe not, since I am emigrating on Friday.

    Bennett | 9 October 2005
  • Hi Bennett. Thanks for reply. If you need a beta tester :-) keep me in mind! This souped-up version sounds good, but if you are still working on it . .perhaps you can keep it mind that it may not be a bad idea to go past the 2nd paragraph issue, and see if you can recognize the first wordwrap instance (is that possible?). For instance, as I described .. I might have the first line as a link and secondary title, but often I might have the date, or author’s link below that 1st line and sometimes the actual text paragraph may not start until the 5th line break… Just a thought. I can’t tell where your other blogs are so, I can’t see your souped up version - but, feel free to browse my “Archive Library” and see what I’m talking about. // Take care.
