  I have inserted the ‘read more’ label and my text does not reflect the split and the button. In other words, it does not work. Anyone knows how the problem might be?
  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Does this support doc help you https://en.support.wordpress.com/excerpts/#creating-excerpts?

  Note that “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it. Also, note that 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/

  The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or the 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. https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts

  If what I posted above does not resolve your issue type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  Hi kupicu,

  oliverfuentes.wordpress.com does not have any posts — which is where the More Tag is designed to be used. Can you send a link to the content you have added it to?

  Thanks!

  Thank you for your comments. I think the problem is that it is not a post, it is a page, and not the home page. So, I think I can’t use “the more tag“. Thank you timethief, I will use the modlook.
  Gemma, the place where I want to use the more tag is after the second paragraph of this article https://oliverfuentes.wordpress.com/articles/

  Hi there,

  The More Tag cannot be used on the pages on the theme you have selected. As an alternative to that, you can use the Pagination feature:
