  I’m using the MH Magazine theme.

  There are several posts in which I used the tag “more”. See link
  https://bonnie8878.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=24728&action=edit

  Then these were copied, pasted on the page call “Entertain. See link
  https://bonnie8878.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=24735&action=edit.

  When the privacy is taken off this page and I view this page see link
  http://touchingyourcommunity.com/ then select “Entertain” on the black bar, the “more” tag doesn’t work.

  Can you tell me how to get this “tag” to work?

  Thanks

  Hi there,

  It looks like in your second example, the “Entertain” post, you have indeed copied and pasted content from several other posts and pasted them in to one post (more tag and all), however that is not how the more tag works. You can only have the more tag once per post. Since the more tag can only appear in a flow of posts, once you click “more” and are taken to the entire article then there is no need for additional more tags.

  If you would like to have multiple links which takes a reader from an excerpt of each of these articles to the full article, what I would recommend is that you create an actual link from this large post over to the original post which you wrote. This way you can do away with any confusion about the More tag and just link your viewers directly to the content when they want to read more.
