Read more tag
-
So after typing some text, i insert the read more tag then continue my text after the tag. after publishing the post I go to my website homepage and the text I wrote before the tag is there but thats it, nth else appears on the homepage. The “read more” or “continue reading” is not there neither is the text after it. When I click the title of the post it navigates to the main page of the post and there I can see the complete post that I wrote after and before the tag.
So I need the read more tag to appear so whoever opens my blog would actually now that they should click her to continue reading.Incase you still dont get it, here is an e.g:
Lets assume my text is “There are plenty of fish in the sea”
I want the text on my blog home to appear like that: “there are plenty of fish in read more.. “
therefore I go to the editor and insert a read more tag after the words “fish in”. and i publish.After that I go to my homepage and I see: “There are plenty of fish in” and thats it. no “Read more” text is written. If I click on the title it does take me to the complete post. But the people who are going to open my homepage arent going to know that they should click on the title to navigate to the full post.
id really appreciate any kind of help as ive been looking for a solution for this for around 4 days now.
Thanks in advance

This is not a theme specific issue.
The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.
If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/Custom Read More Message
To customize the message, simply add a space after
<!--more, and turn it into something like this… <!--more But wait, there's more!-->The guide is here https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/view-all/#custom-read-more-messageThe read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
