Metro Theme Post [….] issue

[prowebcommerce]

Greetings from Australia. I hope you are all looking forward to a happy Thanksgiving!!

When you've finished off the 'goodies' and inclined to work again - I have a problem with the post summary in the Metro theme. ( http://www.quitsmokingadviser.com )

I was expecting the summary link to show as [More....]. It shows as [...] - no problem if the link worked, but it doesn't. There is no internal link URL. I have tried the snippets at http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/post-excerpts/#content-more-link. But none of these seem to work either. Is there a particular position in the Theme Functions where this should go? Are there any other settings I should be aware of? I've tried so many variations in Genesis settings and using the snippets, all without success.

I'm sure it's me that's the problem. but I can't for the life of me work out how to fix it. As a newbie to WordPress I'll be most grateful for any and all assistance.

Thank you,
Ron S

Go to widgets section and check if you have selected "show content limit" option instead of excerpts. See screenshot below

Hello Davinder,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have this set correctly. What I am confused about is that the archived posts are showing the [Read more...] link correctly. It's the home page that is not and I cannot see any way to correct this.

I'm sorry, just realised I did not read your advice correctly. I mistakenly thought you were referring to the Genesis theme settings. Now I see it's widgets you refer to - but, I don't understand where this widget should be placed. The layout I am using is content and sidebar. Where should I position the Categories widget? Sorry if this seems rather silly question, I am still coming to grips with the nuances of WP.

You're using the featured posts widget on your homepage, correct?

You should have a home Top/ Middle Left / Middle Right/ and Bottom portion.

If you want to show the latest 4 blog posts as you have Just place the featured post widget in either the top or bottom with the settings Davinder showed above.

Puppy Leaks I love the Metro theme

Yes, that worked. I had placed the Featured Post widget in Top/Bottom with
Content Type incorrectly set to Excerpt - my mistake. Have now reset this as
illustrated by Davinder. Thank you both very much for your assistance.

Glad you got that working. You can add more content on homepage by adding more widgets to different widget areas.
