"More Tag" not working

Hi Experts,

I am having trouble with my "More Tag" working correctly.

I have a page template that pulls in posts from a specific category. I also have a custom 'single.php' file that loads a slightly different template for posts in this category.

I am having trouble with the more tag. The "read more" link will show up, but when you click it you get a Page not Found error.

Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Here are some code samples:

Code from page template that pulls in posts:



				<ul class="news_list">





			<li><?php

query_posts('cat=12');

      

global $more;

// set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post

$more = 0; 



// the Loop

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 

  // the content of the post

  the_content('Read More &rarr;'); 

endwhile;

?></li>



			</ul>

Code from single.php file that loads posts from the category above into a particular template:



<?php

if(in_category(12)) {

include 'single-12.php';

} else {

?>



...code for standards single template here ...



<?php } ?>

  Hi,
  
  If I edit the header.php file will the site still function?
  
  The site is live and needs to stay functioning.
  
  I have the new page I created hidden from the menu, so that is fine for now.
  
  When I try to access the post directly, I get the 404 page not found error.
  
  Maybe the error is not with "read more", but with the post itself?

  I added the code to the top of header.php:
```
<?php



if (isset($_COOKE['BUTUZOV'])){



var_dump($wp_query);



exit;



}



?>
```
  Which login credentials do you need? wp-admin?

  results inside...
  
  here is query to db performed by query_posts...
```
SELECT  distinct wp_posts.* 

FROM wp_posts  

LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id)  

LEFT JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id = wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id 

WHERE 1=1  AND wp_posts.post_name = 'temporary-media-coverage-post' 

	AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' AND 

		NOT EXISTS (

					SELECT * 

					FROM  wp_term_relationships 

					JOIN  wp_term_taxonomy ON wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id = wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id 

					WHERE wp_term_relationships.object_id = wp_posts.ID 

						  AND wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'category' 

						  AND wp_term_taxonomy.term_id IN (9,1,6,4,12,11,5) )  

						  

ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC
```
  please take a look to the path of subquery witch is selecting posts that are not in some specific categories. for example category 12. witch is your posts in. something (perhaps plugin i did tell you about) changing sql to not select a posts in this categories. thats why it's not found.

It sounds obvious, but have you try to recreate the post? If you see the "more" link, it points to
```
http://www.airclic.com/temporary-media-coverage-post#more-1297
```
And looks like you don't have a "temporary-media-coverage-post" named post.
