## Description

Find Missing More Tags scans your posts and identifies which ones are missing the`
<!--more-->` tag. This helps ensure consistent formatting across your blog, where
the more tag controls how much content appears in archive pages and feeds.

**Features:**

 * Scans all posts (published, draft, pending, scheduled, private)
 * Works with both Classic Editor and Block Editor more tags
 * Clean, modern admin interface with card-based design
 * Three organized tabs: missing, has tag, and ignored
 * Ignore posts that intentionally skip the more tag
 * Quick edit links that open in a new tab
 * Paginated results for sites with many posts
 * No settings required – smart defaults work out of the box

**Why use the more tag?**

The more tag (`<!--more-->`) creates a clean break in your content, showing only
an excerpt on archive pages with a “Read More” link. Without it, your archive pages
might show full posts or rely on automatic excerpts that can cut off mid-sentence.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `find-missing-more-tags` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Navigate to Posts > Missing More Tags to view your posts

## FAQ

### What post types does this scan?

Currently, the plugin scans standard WordPress posts. Support for custom post types
may be added in a future version.

### Does it work with the Block Editor?

Yes! The plugin detects more tags from both the Classic Editor (`<!--more-->`) and
the Block Editor (More block).

### Can I customize the number of posts per page?

The default is 20 posts per page. This provides a good balance between usability
and performance. Customization options may be added in future versions.

### Does this affect my site’s performance?

The plugin only runs when you visit the admin page. It uses efficient queries and
caching to minimize database load.
