# Read more function ignored

 * Hi,
 * I’ve searched around the forums but can’t find a solution to the following problem.
   I’ve read some about people who just get an excerpt, this is different.
 * I have installed wordpress, using it as a cms for a complete website. I use the“
   more” tag on several pages but it doesn’t do a thing. I just get the complete
   text I entered for the page. So it kind of ignores the tag. It does work in the
   blogs, only the pages don’t work.
 * This is the code generated for the web:
 *     ```
       <h2 id="post-10">werkwijze</h2>
       	<div class="entrytext">
       		<p>text.</p>
       <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
       <span id="more-10"></span><br />
       text.</p>
       ```
   
 * The “read more” should between the two texts, hiding the second one.
 * In the posts it does work and shows this code:
 *     ```
       <div class="entry">
       	<p>text.<br /><a href="http://www.cspr.nl/projecten/communique/?p=5#more-5" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</a></p>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Can anyone help me out with this, I really don’t understand. It’s not a problem
   with 2.7, the same problem occurs on a 2.6 installation.

 * Is it your theme? Does it help when you switch to default?

 * Unless something has changed that I missed, “Read More” has never worked on [Pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages).
   Just posts.
 * Last I heard, that’s intentional and by design.

 * Gangleri: no, it doesn’t help when I switch to default.
 * HandySolo: then why is it available in the editor for the pages? Doesn’t seem
   logical to me and I don’t think the designers would limit themselves to that,
   would they?

 * Sorry for the bump, but please? Anyone? Any solution that makes the use of “read
   more” available at my pages is welcome.
