Read more link isn’t working with custom query

Finally found the answer for anyone else out there having the same problem.

Turns out for custom queries like mine using WP_Query more link functionality is OFF by default. To turn it on… this worked for me.

<?php global $more; $more = 0; the_content('Read More'); ?>
