 Hi

 I tried all default themes and some commercial themes but when a more tag
 is added to the content of a post or page in the default editor  it is not
 showing the readmore link anymore.

 Did something change?  Her is the html i am using.
 {{{
 This content is before the <a title="The More Tag"
 href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/"
 target="_blank" rel="noopener">more tag</a>.

 Right after this sentence should be a "continue reading" button of some
 sort on list pages of themes that show full content. It won't show on
 single pages or on themes showing excerpts.

 <!--more-->

 And this content is after the more tag. (which should be the anchor link
 for when the button is clicked)
 }}}

 Please advice.

 Thank you

 excerpt. Btw it does not matter what that setting is. It never works.

 you see in the browser.

 Right, the option in Reading Settings only applies to RSS feeds, not to
 archive pages. This was previously discussed in #22049, #39519, #45752,
 and some other tickets.
