Q: Is there a way I can have the_content(); split into two different areas after the "read more" break in Wordpress?

user1636946When users click into the post, I'd want to split the_content(); code into two different areas. I have two divs and I'd like the_content(); before "read more" to go there and on the other the_content(); after "read more". Is this possible?

^ What?
@Braiam Voted.
 
12:11 AM
@AstroCB That question likely makes sense to experienced wordpress users.
 
@JasonC Probably, but some context would help.

@JasonC What annoys me is when I flag obvious junk, it goes into review, my flag is marked disputed, and then a mod deletes it.
That doesn't apply to comments of course.

user259867
If you mean Undo's post, there is some confusion in the discussion there.
 
user259867
5:28 AM
Undo refers to Shog's advice on flagging, and then applies it verbatim to reviewing. These are different activities.
 
user259867
There are things I would not flag as VLQ, but if they happen to be flagged and I see them in the queue, I'll vote to delete.
 
user259867
Shog9 keeps protecting SO mods from the volume of flags, which I understand.
 
user259867
But at the time of reviewing, this is not really a consideration. I'm not a mod.
 
user259867
And my time has been spent already, whether I decide on Looks OK or Delete. So the cost of handling stuff isn't a factor; the quality of the post is.
 
user259867
In any event, what's written on meta.SO has no bearing on other sites.

A: Help Improve The Help & Improvement Queue!

Alexis KingFirst the H&I queue was too full, now it’s too empty! I’m not really sure if anything changed algorithmically between the launch of H&I and the current state of things, but H&I is actually currently hovering around a pretty consistent zero items. This could be because there were a lot of posts ...

 
@AlexisKing I think that's b.c they were pushing 2 day old questions in there, now they are just pushing in the new ones
 
user259867
@AlexisKing I see you point, but it's not hard to find posts in need for an edit, one can even filter by tags in search, unlike in the queue.
 
@Roombatron5000 Yeah, I sort of mentioned that in the second paragraph.
 
user259867
I'm still not convinced that the queue format can be useful for anything but swift reviewing.
 
@Woodface I agree in principle—viewing the list of newest questions is pretty much a surefire way of findings questions that need to be edited—but the workflow of H&I is nice and it helps to focus on just improving posts rather than moving from question to question.
 
7:03 AM
I'm not too convinced of the new queue's usefulness either but I figure I'll let them polish it off for a while before I start complaining.
I haven't really actually seen any magic decrease in the frequency of posts that need editing, it doesn't actually seem like more people are editing low quality posts to me. But also it's brand new, so maybe it just needs time. Also I don't have actual data and haven't been observing long.
Basically, I don't have a point, so I'm going to go back to Netflix now.
 
The triage has obviously been working. Questions that shouldn't have time spent on editing are being closed faster and ones that may be salvagebable go to help and improvement
 
Word
Questions like that are just disasters for everybody.

On Mathematics that mode of answering is 24/7.
 
@JasonC I'm sort of surprised that a diamond mod answered that question.
 
@AlexisKing It's Bohemian, don't expect much from him. There's a reason I didn't vote for him in the last election. Not the first time I've raised an eyebrow in his direction at all.
 
I'd totally run for moderator if there were new elections. I'm almost certain I wouldn't win, but I'd like to at least try. :)
 
@AlexisKing if you do a "burn down the close queue rally post" that gets status-completed I'll totally for sure vote for you
 
My goal in the next few months is to be active on Ask Patents and become a moderator there. I really, really want that site to succeed.
 
7:23 AM
@Roombatron5000 Hah, we can all dream, can't we?
I'd really, really like to be more active on Code Review SE, but none of my favorite languages are at all active there. :/
It's all Java/JS/C# and the like, none of which are fun or interesting to refactor at all.
 
Yeah...
I like that CR exists, and there's a lot of good stuff going on there, but that's also essentially my real life job. I'd get depressed if I spent my free time on CR.
 
I still have an old Scheme/Racket question on CR that I've gotten absolutely no responses to... which doesn't surprise me at all.

Q: WebSocket-based API library in Racket

Alexis KingI've developed a library in (typed) Racket that wraps a WebSocket-based API.

The simple library itself provides a series of small abstractions over interfacing with the ...

That's great, but I noticed that with the new updates, the designs of sites become less and less unique. Now the fonts are the same everywhere, the vote buttons, favorite button and The Checkmark are the same everywhere, only color differs in active state. Elements are now aligned with no difference on all the new sites and the sites with recently updated design. The only major difference between those sites is logo and, in some places, color scheme (and metas are almost indistinguishable, if I can't see the logo). Ah yes. Tag designs also differ a bit. — nicael 1 min ago

@nicael Wasn't one of the design goals to reduce per-site differences? If they have done it right they should be able to differentiate again without the burden of per-site patches/fixes etc. To achieve that though everybody has take a step back to get on the same base-level.
