"More Tag" not working WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hi Experts,

I am having trouble with my "More Tag" working correctly.

I have a page template that pulls in posts from a specific category. I also have a custom 'single.php' file that loads a slightly different template for posts in this category.

I am having trouble with the more tag. The "read more" link will show up, but when you click it you get a Page not Found error.

Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Here are some code samples:


<strong>Code from page template that pulls in posts:</strong>

<ul class="news_list">


<li><?php
query_posts('cat=12');

global $more;
// set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post
$more = 0;

// the Loop
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
// the content of the post
the_content('Read More &rarr;');
endwhile;
?></li>

</ul>







<strong>Code from single.php file that loads posts from the category above into a particular template:</strong>

<?php
if(in_category(12)) {
include 'single-12.php';
} else {
?>

...code for standards single template here ...

<?php } ?>

global $more;

// set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post

$more = 0;


Oleg Butuzov comments:

sorry me wrong. we need at least a url to see the posts.

can you also provide a structure that you are using for the permanent links?

check is this artcile published not schelduled


WP Answers comments:

Hi,

If I edit the header.php file will the site still function?

The site is live and needs to stay functioning.

I have the new page I created hidden from the menu, so that is fine for now.

When I try to access the post directly, I get the 404 page not found error.

Maybe the error is not with "read more", but with the post itself?

Oleg Butuzov comments:

<?php
if (isset($_COOKE['BUTUZOV'])){
var_dump($wp_query);
exit;
}
?>

with this code site still will be aviable for a public and debug for me. also can i request admin login credentials to see post inside edition page?


WP Answers comments:

Hi,

I added the code to the top of header.php:

<?php

if (isset($_COOKE['BUTUZOV'])){

var_dump($wp_query);

exit;

}

?>



Which login credentials do you need? wp-admin?

http://www.airclic.com/?p=1297 will give you same link. so its exists. but its hidden somehow.


Oleg Butuzov comments:

sorry in this code typo

if (isset($_COOKIE['BUTUZOV'])){

can you replace it?


WP Answers comments:

header.php is updated. Sorry about the delay.


Oleg Butuzov comments:

results inside...

here is query to db performed by query_posts...

SELECT distinct wp_posts.*
FROM wp_posts
LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id)
LEFT JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id = wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id
WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_name = 'temporary-media-coverage-post'
AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' AND
NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM wp_term_relationships
JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id = wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id
WHERE wp_term_relationships.object_id = wp_posts.ID
AND wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'category'
AND wp_term_taxonomy.term_id IN (9,1,6,4,12,11,5) )

ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC


please take a look to the path of subquery witch is selecting posts that are not in some specific categories. for example category 12. witch is your posts in. something (perhaps plugin i did tell you about) changing sql to not select a posts in this categories. thats why it's not found.

Guillermo Sornoza answers:

It sounds obvious, but have you try to recreate the post? If you see the "more" link, it points to

http://www.airclic.com/temporary-media-coverage-post#more-1297

And looks like you don't have a "temporary-media-coverage-post" named post.
