When I published my latest post there were some issues with the spacing between paragraphs in the first section of the article. The formatting seemed off and would not allow a
just out of interest have you created a new article and used the more tag in there...
support may have 'formatted' your old article not allowing the use of the more tag...
if the new one doesn't then you have a three choices... one you won't like ...change the theme....but before we get to that...
what about using the excerpt to add the teaser and see if that works...
so copy the bit you want to show into the box labelled excerpt and update....
or
update to the block editor...it really is not as scary as it looks...
writing a standard post is as easy ( well almost) as with the classic editor...
then you have the more block to add...
you don't need to convert any of the old posts and can continue forward using the block editor...
or you are back to using code to add another more tag...
but if the new post will take the more tag then it is whatever support did to your post and a copy and paste into a new post may sort it...it may alter the formatting...you will need to try it...
i hope you get it sorted Joseph

I believe you are correct about what Site Support did affecting the post.
Where do I find the "excerpt box"? I don't see that as an option.
Thank you very much for your helpful response!✌️
i knew i had seen it somewhere ....
and i thought i was going to disappoint you and say it is only in the block editor....but nope....
when editing the post go to the top and click on screen options ( right at the top right) and tick the excerpt box...
then click on screen options to pop it out of site again...
i can't guarantee that it will be used but worth a try to see if your theme uses it...
have fun
The excerpt function didn't work like I was hoping.
I just deleted the post, re-typed the problem portion(I was afraid to copy and paste for fear the formatting would follow) and republished and everything seems fine now. The post wasn't indexed yet so I think that was acceptable.
Thanks for your help, this morning!
Yes if you change themes, you will loose your customization.
Since you are a paid premium member you could use your free siterubix,.com website or create a a subdomain for your domain and ask site support to COPY (not MOVE) your existing .com site into it to try some things. And then when you like what you have you can ask Site Support to COPY (not move) your test one back to your dot com or manually change your dot com like you have your test site.
To create a subdomain scroll to bottom of page.

If you COPY your dot com into a test site be sure to set your Settings -> reading -> discourage search engines form crawling.

Why read more tag can't be placed in post?

I try below resource Read More or Continue Reading Tag Sometimes the theme could be at fault, have you tried a different theme and got a different result perhaps.
Hope you get it figured out.
Changing themes seems awful extreme for such a minor problem.
Site Support did something to the format of the post when they "fixed" the spacing problem that happened in Site Content right after it was published. It was actually causing the Read More break to appear at the bottom of the post no matter where I tried to place it.
Anyway, since the post wasn't indexed yet, I figured it would do no harm to delete, repair and republish the same article.
I did that and the newly published post accepted the placement of the Read More tag just fine.😂

I have this page on my site where I employ Ebay affiliate links with listings for my own products.
Hi
I would consider doing a staging site and testing first before applying to the main site.
If domain is hosted with WA, you may ask site support for a staging site.

You may review this below thread
https://community.ebay.com/t5/Selling/When-and-best-way-to-freshen-up-older-listings/td-p/29850746
I would also check eBay community / support / docs for help with your question.
At one point did sell art as in eBay store in collaboration with Channel Advisor.

I use to get over 1000 visits a week, now it's in the single digits all of a sudden. I've actually published a couple articles in the last few

Hi I'd check analytics code if removed accidentally, perhaps updated something.
The recommendation is 2 - 3 posts a week a niche a site and that's for the foreseeable future.
You may check below resource for more tips why numbers may have dropped

It looks like the All In One SEO plug-in got deactivated when I updated a couple weeks ago. Thanks ✌️

When publishing videos to YouTube, do I need to check the promotion box? I post links to my site and social media under each video.
No, you haven't received a payment to create the video, you are just recommending a product/service. I always leave this unticked.
When I clicked on Learn More, this explanation came up. That seemed to me to describe an affiliate relationship which led me to ask the question. I appreciate your answer, I just want to make sure we're all working from the correct information.
