Tell us what you are trying to do?
When writing a post, we select the breakpoint for the read more option. But the site does not break/stop the text at that point. It will only break at the point where I choose a word or character number. I really need to be able to control this with the standard WordPress read more option.

Is there any documentation that you are following? I looked through the [wpv-post-excerpt] and did not find a solution.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know where you want to display the read more tag? Do you want to display on single post page or?

Can you please share bit more details.

Also - Could you please send me debug information that will help us to investigate your issue.

I'm sorry, but I can't add debug info. When I clicked on it, it did not open, even though I tried 2 different browsers.

If you go to hidden link, look at the articles and see them with ... [wpv-post-excerpt more=" ..."]
We have selected the excerpt to break at other locations that are within the wizywig box. See attached images.

Thanks

As you can see:
- hidden link

The "more link" allows you cut off the post on the index pages (archive, category, tag pages, etc.).

If you still want to use the more tag then you will have to use the custom shortcode as shared with the following related ticket:

This is great, but is there a way to have it when the more tag is not selected that it cutt offs based on the view selection?
See issue here: hidden link I had to fix the ones on the home page that were missing the more button. Would be nice if this just worked like WP out of the box.

add_shortcode('get_content_before_more', 'get_content_before_more_func');
function get_content_before_more_func() {
// get current post's content
$content = get_post_field( 'post_content', get_the_ID() );

// Get content parts
$content_parts = get_extended( $content );

// Return only the content before the read more tag
return $content_parts['main'];
}

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean?

Can you please be more precise what exactly your requirement, maybe you can share few screenshots and once I understand what you need I will be able to guide you in the right direction.
