Adding Image to the More Tag

[futurewebboss]

I would like to add an image for the "More" tag instead of just a link. Over at WordPress.org there's a thread with some code recommended,

<?php the_content('<img src="/images/more-button.jpg" alt="read more" title="Read More" />Read More . . .'); ?>

I"m assuming that I should add the code as a hook, but in Genesis Simple Hooks, I'm not sure which to use. Is this the right approach, or can anyone provide some guidance?

Thanks in advance,

Dan

You'd benefit from following the guidance in this thread.

If you want to replace every more tag with the same image, you'd add a filter as described in that thread. The filter can go in your functions.php of your child theme. If you're a novice with editing code, be careful, because even a minor typo can break your site. Have a backup of a working functions.php that you can overwrite a mistake using FTP before attempting any changes to PHP.

@futurewebbos - I'm not sure what you were trying to do by marking a response as private, but marking it that way means that only moderators see it. I'm not a moderator, and no moderator has replied in this thread, so it's not likely that the private reply will catch someone's attention or get a response.

I see a lot of private replies on the forum, and I think its use isn't very well understood. The little checkbox at the bottom could come with a better explanation.
