  The “Insert Read More” function on my posts no longer works.

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

  That is very strange and I do not have a fix for you. I tagged this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

  Just in case I would like to post what follows …

  The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts. Your RSS Feed is displaying summaries.

  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.

  Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. Here are the themes that do provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

  That is strange. I tried to replicate this problem on my test blog and wasn’t able to do it.

  Assuming you are using the process in the support document TimeThief shared above (http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/) the next step is to see if I can replicate the problem on your site.

  Could you give me an example of a post on your site that you’d like to have a more tag in (and where you want it) so I can see if I run into the same problem?

  Thanks!
