Ever wanted to display some text at the end of your post that would only show up on the single post view? Perhaps a message to commenters? Well, WordPress has the ability built in. No need for any plugins.

The trick is to use the <!--more--> tag. However, I bet you’re thinking “but I don’t want a ‘Read More’ link!”. Well, once again, WordPress to the rescue.

For a few major versions now, you can do custom more text. You simply format it like this: <!--more Check out the rest of my post!-->. Or, to remove the link altogether while still leaving the feature intact, just use a space: <!--more -->.

Here’s an example:

This is a cool post. It has lots of interesting stuff.

More interesting stuff.

<!--more -->

This text will only show up on the single post view.

You can check it out in action as the following text will only show up in single post view:

Hey there. This is the “special” text. 🙂
