Are you then using the_content to display the post content?

Yep, here is the code I use:
<?php $posts = get_posts( "category=2&numberposts=5" ); ?>
<?php if( $posts ) : ?>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<div class="meta"><h1 class="title">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a></h1></div>
<div class="content">
<?php the_content(); ?></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Used your code with the WordPress Default 1.6 theme , in a file called category.php, and it worked, meaning it displayed the text up to <!--more--> and presented a link to view the whole article.
Using that same code on a Page template resulted in the whole post being displayed, meaning the <!--more--> quicktag was ingored. This is the expected behaviour.

Weird, since I did use it in a Category-template:
Named a file ‘category-2.php’ and used the above code in it.
I think it must be conflicting with something else in the file, since when I put it in en empty page (like you did) it works fine…
I’ll let you know what I find, thanks so far

Ok, I found the cause, but not the solution yet:
On the same category-page I was showing the content of a page by using this code:
<?php query_posts( 'page_id=49' ); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
If I remove this, the <!– more –> tags work fine. Now my problem is how to show the content of that page without disturbing the category display?

Got it!
This did what I was looking for:
<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query('page_id=49');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
I’m having the same problem, but not sure if that solution works for me – or at least haven’t been able to wrap my head around it enough to get it to work.
I’m calling posts like so
<?php> query_posts("cat=1"); ?>
on a page template. The more link doesn’t work.
“this is the expected behaviour”
Is there a way around this? Thanks.
