Focus theme – read more link

[Lise]

Hi anyone,

I have installed and customized the focus theme on a client's site and on this page, which is the category in the menu, http://destinationweddingdetails.com/category/real-destination-weddings  we need the 'read more link' within the [...]

I don't know how to make it happen.  The following is already in the functions.php

/** Modify the WordPress read more link */
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'custom_read_more_link' );
function custom_read_more_link() {
return '<a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '">Read More</a>';
}

Thanks in advance

Lise

Hello,

Try using the WordPress 'excerpt_more' filter.

/* functions.php */
function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
	return ' <a class="read-more" href="'. get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . '">Read More</a>';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more' );

The above was pulled from the WordPress documentation. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

I hope this helps.

Thanks Ryan, I will try.  I was under the impression that it would be in genesis, so I didn't go look in the codex.

Thanks again

Actually Ryan, I fixed it another way...I was going to copy the code you gave me in my evernote, and that's where I noticed I had already something relating to that.

"To make sure that the category pages listing each post has the Read More link, go to genesis settings, content archives, set to "display post content' and then set the limit of charaters to 300 and it will show up."

And it works!

Have a nice weekend
