  • Meng Goo, the feature you mention is already built into WordPress — you can do this by editing your theme. For example, in index.php, change

    the_content('Read the rest of this entry »');

    to

    the_content('Read more about '.get_the_title());

    I suspect that it would take a lot of magic to get a plugin to do this.

  • Bennett,

    Thank you for the answer, I had the same question.

    I’d like to take it one step further…How do I change the code so I can put question marks around the title along with a ?

    So it would read- Read more about “title of page?”

    Thank you in advance

  • Scott, use this in your theme:

    the_content('Read more about “' . get_the_title() . '?”');

    and it should appear like this:

    Read more about “Title of Page?”

  • Bennett,

    When I copied the line into my theme, I recieved the following error message:

    Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/vhosts/askscottgaines.com/html/wp-content/themes/fishing/index.php on line 23

    Any ideas?

    Thank you,

  • I didn’t mean for you to replace the entire line, just the original the_content(...) bit. But replacing the line might be easier. So here’s the easy way:

    In the default theme, open the file index.php. Find this line:

    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

    Delete it and replace with this:

    <?php the_content('Read more about &#8220;' . get_the_title() . '?&#8221;'); ?>

    It works for me; let me know if it doesn’t work for you.

  • hello, I use evermore with less and its very exiting. also I combine it with a plugin that uses more combined with ajax to imediately expand the text not jump to that post. thus you can check out the whoile text directly on the main page.

    I still have one request (if possible), could you make a mod of your plugin, maybe to have it display a text defined by me if there is a text without text, only conteining pictures?

    I would like to use tagwarrior to display all matching posts to a certain keyword. but I have textonla posts and posts containing only images.

    you cancheck it out here: http://pacura.ru and play and with the sitewide tags in the sidebar to udnerstand what exactly I mean.

    the blog is only in testing so just ignore the content for now :-)

    if you have another idea how I could combine these two types of posts with tags feel free to mail me

    regards

  • ooops, I got a far simpler idea:

    I could make a tag.php template for displaying tagged posts…

    But I have no clue how to design it, maybe for posts without content(=text) it should only display the title and as content a line saying: image only post

    ? any ideas?

    ovidiu | 6 May 2006
  • me again, :-)

    I really would like to know if it would be possible to have a post display: “This is an image only post” if a post would contain only an image (local hyperlinked image)… instead of using the default settings of showing the first x paragraphs or the first x words for a post.

    ovidiu | 6 May 2006
  • Ovidiu, That sounds like a pretty specific customisation; too specialised for a simple plugin like Evermore. Evermore only adds a “more” tag;and leaves the rest to WordPress, so having it actually insert text would be a big change — actually it would be a different plugin. If I can think of a nice, generally useful way of implementing this then I will. I must warn you that spare time is in very short supply for me, so don’t hold your breath. :)

    Bennett | 6 May 2006
  • ok so ther is actually a more tag. that means I could isntruct my template to look for more tags, if none is present change to another disply scheme…

    thx for the clarification

  • Cool plug in - thanks alot!

  • Hello there,

    very nice plugins you have here. I am using the LEss and Evermore together but I have run into some problems. It seems one of these two plugins conflicts with the lightbox plus plugin.

    Could you also have a look at this thread I started over at another forum please?

  • I’m new to WP, but started using your Evermore 2 when the regular WP “more” tag somehow kept breaking my layout (made the index.php page wider anytime it was inserted in any post…very odd). Once I turned to your plugin, all troubles are over.

    Many thanks Bennett — well done!

  • Hai,
    i wanted to use your “Less” and “Evermore” Plugins on my site. Both failed, nothing happend at all. The page is still in testing status, i use WP 2.0.3 an some plugins which are all running well. Here the list:
    Transpose Email 1.2
    ChenPress 3.1.1
    Head META Description R1.1.2
    Jerome’s Keywords 1.9
    Jerome’s Keywords Manager 1.0
    Lightbox 2.0 Plugin 0.6.2 Final
    Organizer 1.1.0
    Optimal Title 1.0
    PreFormatted 2.0-rc1
    WordPress Database Backup 1.7
    Admin Drop Down Menu 1.3
    del.icio.us widget 1.0
    WhoLinked 1.0
    Sidebar Widgets 1.0

    i turned them all on and off - no result
    I like the idea of “Less” very much. Any suggestions …
