Cut text from "the_content" function in WordPress

Question

I'm using "the_content" function but the content is too long and i want to cut it without creating functions, filters etc.. Any ideas ?

Answer 1

You can use quicktag <!--more--> in posts to tell the_content function where to cut the text.

Another way would be to use the_excerpt function instead of the_content. One reason to use the_excerpt is that you don't need to bother with <!--more--> quicktags.
