Read more Coding

[steffie]

Hi

I currently have a read more link on my posts (using the excerpt) using the Jane theme. The creator of these theme has provided the following code to put a "Read more" link

//* Change the WordPress read more link
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
       global $post;
	return '<a class="moretag" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">...... Read the full story </a>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

but I would like to have a link like the one at the end of these excerpts on this blog: http://luckylucille.com/. I have no coding experience at all, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hoping someone can assist.

thanks

Stephanie

I don't love the way the ellipsis is part of the link... Try this instead:

//* Change the WordPress read more link
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
       global $post;
	return '... <br /><br /><a class="moretag" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read the full story</a>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

Thanks nutsandbolts,

That worked like a charm... 🙂

Also I have been trying to move the post meta to sit under the post title but can't for the life of me work this one out either.
I have tried using simple edits but that is not working with my theme (saw all the posts that other people were having issues with this as well), so have disabled it. I have worked out how to change the author and date, but when I put in categories, it gives me another line with Filed under...

I would like to have : By [post_author] on [post_date] in [post_categories]. I will also like [post_comments] to sit beside the " Read full story" line.

I am getting the hang of css but the above stuff is way above my head.

Again, any help would be appreciated.

cheers

Stephanie
