Hi
I have used the following code to change how the 'Read More' link looks.

//* Modify the Genesis content limit read more link
add_filter( 'get_the_content_more_link', 'sp_read_more_link' );
function sp_read_more_link() {
	return '... <a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '">[Continue Reading]</a>';
}

However, I would like to have a different looking 'Read More' link in the sidebar. I guss it will be an 'if' statement but I'm just not savvy enough with PHP to know exatly how to implement it. Any suggestions?

If you are displaying the Read More from the sidebar, you can just target the CSS for it to look different. You said how it "looks" and not how it functions.

Instead of using this code. You could easily use the button. Which is also available in the presets of the wordpress. As we are also using those simple buttons our welding website. Where we are providing beginner review about different welding helmets and its accessories.

I appreciate that it has been well over a year sice the last post here, but I decided to post in case this thread might get a response.

I see that @RussCW managed to use the below code to change [Read more...] into [Continue Reading].

//* Modify the Genesis content limit read more link
add_filter( 'get_the_content_more_link', 'sp_read_more_link' );
function sp_read_more_link() {
	return '... <a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '">[Continue Reading]</a>';
}

I have copied the code into my functions.php for the child theme of Genesis Sample, but it doesn't seem to have worked.

However, I have now managed to change the file in
/lib/structure/post.php
in both the Child theme folder and Parent theme folder, but only the changes to the file in the Parent theme seem to have worked.

Can anyone tell me please; how can i get the post.php file in the Child theme folder to overide the Parent?

Thanks for reading
