    The titles of the blog posts are linked to the blog entries but the [more...] text doesn't have a link.

    Thinking this is a php issue somewhere, but I can't find it.

    Thanks SO much for any input on this.

    You can change the Theme Settings to display the entry content so a link is generated.

    You can also plug this code into your Functions.php file and it should fix the problem:

    //* Modify read more link
    add_filter( 'get_the_content_more_link', 'new_read_more_link' );
    function new_read_more_link() {
    	return '... <a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '">Read More &raquo;</a>';
    }

    Hi Brad,

    Thanks so much for looking at this!

    I combed thru all settings (both theme and wp) and didn't see anything that altered or affected individual post links in any way.I'm using Showcase pro which isn't turning out to be my fave-( @media is all mixed into the css).

    Can you be a bit more specific as to where I should look?

    Thanks!

    Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives > Display > Entry Content.

    Only works when you limit the content.

    Otherwise, you can add a link to the excerpt.

    Hi Brad,

    Those are settings that I have- limited to 500 characters.
    The hyperlinks on title are working just not on the (really necessary) "More" button.

    Okay Solution:

    I'm guessing that I have a plugin conflict. I was using display-posts-shortcode to populate blog page archive. Since I set it in theme, the "read more" button is functional.

    Thanks!

    Actually, looks like Brad was right.

    For some reason the admin panel was giving me the option for limited characters for content- but not showing the input field for setting the limit. Working now.
