Chris,

Great question. By default WordPress will take you to the point in the post where the more tag is placed. You can change that though. Here’s how:

1. Go to the appearance section and select edit to open up the theme editor.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose functions.php.
3. Scroll down to the very bottom until you see ?>
4. Paste this just above the ?>:

   
   function remove_more_jump_link($link) { 
   $offset = strpos($link, '#more-');
   if ($offset) {
   $end = strpos($link, '"',$offset);
   }
   if ($end) {
   $link = substr_replace($link, '', $offset, $end-$offset);
   }
   return $link;
   }
   add_filter('the_content_more_link', 'remove_more_jump_link');
   

5. Save your changes.

That should take care of the jumping for you. I found that solution on this page in the WordPress Codex.

If you have any trouble, let me know.

Thank you for your business,
Bill
