Reading settings not working

  • Unknown's avatar

    My reading settings with respect to related posts are not working. I have doublechecked to confirm I have show related posts as well as thumbnails toggled, but nothing appears.

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

  • Hi there,

    It is normal for blog posts on your main blog feed (http://foundbetweenthecovers.wordpress.com) to display without sharing/like buttons or comment forms. That is done both to keep the feed neat and tidy, as well as improve page load speed.

    If you visit any single blog post (http://foundbetweenthecovers.wordpress.com/2014/01/24/z-a-novel-of-zelda-fitzgerald-by-therese-anne-fowler/) you will see all of these features displayed.

    You can use this behavior to your benefit (and tidy up your blog feed further) by creating manual excerpts at the point in your text that you choose, which will truncate your blog entries so that only that portion of text is displayed in the main feed, along with a “read more” link pointing the reader to the full post.

    You can do this by using the More Tag button in your text editor.

    Once you have added the More Tag to all your blog posts, visitors to your site will see short teasers for all the posts in your feed, and be encouraged to click on the link to continue reading, as will as like, share, and comment, on your post.

    Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
