(There is one cat, that will not show the widget, with other cats it works. And it does not show up anywhere else either.)</p> <p>Who can help?</p> <p>Best Boris</p> <p><a href="http://www.kletterbericht.de/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kletterbericht.de/</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/mainpage-columns-posts#post-11700 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 14:31:44 +0000 Dude 11700@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> we'll stick to this thread. <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-11692 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 14:08:45 +0000 Dude 11692@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> open up index.php and replace following code:<br /> <pre><code>the_content(&#39;&lt;span&gt;&#39;.__(&#39;Read more&#39;,&#39;habitat&#39;).&#39;&lt;/span&gt;&#39;);</code></pre> <p>with:<br /> <pre><code>the_excerpt(&#39;&lt;span&gt;&#39;.__(&#39;Read more&#39;,&#39;habitat&#39;).&#39;&lt;/span&gt;&#39;);</code></pre> <p>Habitats slider works a bit different to Newscasts. Habitat is designed to show the latest post images as fullsize slideshow at the top. If you create a new post the slideshow of an older post will be replaced by the new post content. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/mainpage-columns-posts#post-11646 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 03:46:12 +0000 dvint1 11646@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I have tried what James says above, but I still get the full article showing on the main page and result pages. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-11645 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 03:35:04 +0000 dvint1 11645@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey Kriesi,</p> <p>We are in the process of switching from newscaster to habitat, how do I make the front page show the excerpt for the post rather than adding a more and it showing the first x lines. We custom write our excerpts, so would like to use them instead.</p> <p>Also is there anyway of making the slider show multiple stories (as it does in newscaster)? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-10578 Fri, 24 Dec 2010 07:54:04 +0000 Dude 10578@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> please create an admin account and send the login details to: <a href="mailto:kriesi2000-dude@yahoo.com">kriesi2000-dude@yahoo.com</a> - I'll have a look at it. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-10570 Fri, 24 Dec 2010 06:59:49 +0000 hsimonsen 10570@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi, that's still not doing what I want. If you go to the first blog post on this link </p> <p><a href="http://themeforest.net/item/habitat-blog-and-portfolio-theme/full_screen_preview/125365" rel="nofollow">http://themeforest.net/item/habitat-blog-and-portfolio-theme/full_screen_preview/125365</a> </p> <p>you'll see there's a little box that contains the words "read more" and the blog post is shortened. I'd like to do the same thing on my home page. Isn't that part of the template?</p> <p>Thank you and Happy Holidays. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-10202 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 08:16:04 +0000 Dude 10202@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> for more information have a look at this page: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More</a></p> <p>If you use the visual editor in WP you'll see the more button in your panel. But you can also use &lt;!--more--&gt; in your text as I posted above. It seperates the excerpt content from the rest of the page. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-10189 Mon, 13 Dec 2010 21:53:44 +0000 hsimonsen 10189@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks for responding. Can you tell me what you meant by your response? Where is the "read more tag in my post/page editor"? Do I have to put this in every single post or isn't there something I can do so every post on the home page is just limited to a certain number of words. (and where do I put it?) I'm a complete noob so please excuse the basic question.</p> <p>Hey,<br /> what I wanted to say is that you can use the read more tag in your post/page editor to mark the excerpt. So if you have a text use following tag to seperate excerpt from other content:<br /> &lt;!--more--&gt;</p> <p>Thank you </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-9867 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 08:25:07 +0000 Dude 9867@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> what I wanted to say is that you can use the read more tag in your post/page editor to mark the excerpt. So if you have a text use following tag to seperate excerpt from other content:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;!--more--&gt;</code></pre> <p>i.e. like:</p> <pre><code>and I told him that he should get moving or I&#39;d be on him like a limpet. He looked at me with shock on his face and said &lt;!--more--&gt; more text content....</code></pre> <p>On this site you'll find a screenshot and a nice tutorial about this topic: <a href="http://www.elmalak.info/add-the-more-link/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elmalak.info/add-the-more-link/</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-9852 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 21:39:39 +0000 hsimonsen 9852@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi. I did see the thread but didn't find a solution in it. Essentially, I want it to look like the live demo version of the Habitat theme: 500 words or so of each post (on home page) then a "read more" button at the bottom of each post. I've looked through your documentation and have searched the support forum but can't seem to figure out how to do that.</p> <p>Please note: I am not a programmer so the code stuff is new to me.</p> <p>Thank you! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-9835 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 08:53:00 +0000 Dude 9835@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> have a look at this thread: <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/read-more-button" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/read-more-button</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-read-more-button-to-bottom-of-posts-on-home-page#post-9816 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 19:57:08 +0000 hsimonsen 9816@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi. I'd like to have a summary of my posts on the home page with a "read more" button just like you have on the demo version of Habitat but I cannot figure out how to do so. Instead, my home page has all the text for each blog post. </p> <p>My blog: <a href="http://www.meddevicemarketing.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.meddevicemarketing.com</a></p> <p>Thanks, in advance! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/extra-widget-areas-for-specific-categories-not-working#post-9101 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 10:39:21 +0000 James Morrison 9101@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>I never received an email from @theleash so I never had the chance to look into this.</p> <p>I'd need to see this 1st hand to try and fix, can you set me up a WP admin account and email the details to support {at} jamesmorrisondesign {dot} com with the subject:</p> <p><code>Kriesi | Newscast | dvint1 | Extra Widget Areas For Specific Categories Not Working</code></p> <p>and I'll take a look.</p> <p>James </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/extra-widget-areas-for-specific-categories-not-working#post-8968 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 04:00:48 +0000 dvint1 8968@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>bump, any news on why the widgets would not work correctly on our site? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/extra-widget-areas-for-specific-categories-not-working#post-7916 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:13:20 +0000 James Morrison 7916@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>I received an email with a username and password for <a href="http://www.maccazine.com.au" rel="nofollow">http://www.maccazine.com.au</a> but when trying to login got the message "Invalid Username".
