No read more thingy anywhere...

[vij]

I dont have thje "read more" thingy on my "home page post" or "category section".
I guess it has something to do with page_blog.php from what I gathered reading around.
This is what I have currently on page_blog.php
I have not touched it. Its the default file. Please help!

<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">

	<div id="contentleft">
	
		<div class="postarea">
	
		<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/breadcrumb.php");?>
				
			<?php $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("cat=".get_theme_mod('blog_cat')."&showposts=".get_theme_mod('blog_cat_num')."&paged=$page"); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>
            
			<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
				
			<div class="date">
			
				<div class="dateleft">
					<p><span class="time"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span> <?php _e("by", 'studiopress'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> &nbsp;<?php edit_post_link(__('(Edit)', 'studiopress'), '', ''); ?> <br /> <?php _e("Filed under", 'studiopress'); ?> <?php the_category(', ') ?></p> 
				</div>
				
				<div class="dateright">
					<p><span class="icomment"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>#comments"><?php comments_number(__('Leave a Comment', 'studiopress'), __('1 Comment', 'studiopress'), __('% Comments', 'studiopress')); ?></a></span></p> 
				</div>
				
			</div>
				
			<?php the_excerpt(); ?><div class="clear"></div>
				
			<div class="postmeta2">
				<p><span class="tags"><?php _e("Tags", 'studiopress'); ?>: <?php the_tags('') ?></span></p>
			</div>
							
			<?php endwhile; ?>
			
			<p><?php posts_nav_link(); ?></p>
		
		</div>
		
	</div>
	
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
		
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

These pages are generated using the home.php and archive.php theme files, not the page_blog.php theme file. What are the urls to example pages with the problem you describe?

[vij]

My archive,php and blog_page.php are different from whats mentioned in this tutorial here http://www.studiopress.com/support/s...ad.php?t=19267
I know they are talking about something else, but the code snippet they are talking about doesn't exist for me at all. So was concerned.


Anyways. Please see my pages.
<edit>

I have no read more link. Only way to view the complete post is to click the title. Pl help.

Show us the contents of the home.php theme file.

Change that to this:

PHP Code:

<?php the_content_limit(80, 'Read more'); ?>

HTH,
