How to get a Read More Button – Epik

[rogerp]

I am running the Epik theme and I have my post excerpts set to summary and I also put a more tag in my posts.

However on the blog front page I don't get a read more button and it just cuts off the text.

What am I missing? Or Do I have to add something manually

Thanks

Roger

Hi rogerp, you could try and paste the following code into your functions.php...

add_filter('excerpt_more', 'get_read_more_link');
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'get_read_more_link' );
function get_read_more_link() {
     return '...&nbsp;<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">[Read&nbsp;More]</a>';
}

Thanks James, that worked a treat!

Just wonder why that's not there by default.

Cheers again

No problem rogerp, glad it helped. Not all themes include a read more link by default, I think that is probably to allow for more flexibility when customising, thats just an assumption though.
