Thanks Victor... that did the trick. Needed to view incognito to see the changes.

Thanks Victor I will give it a try and will let you know the results

Not really Susan,

Someone posted a suggestion but I couldn't get it to work.. I decided not worry about it and took a different approach for the original reason for this page.

Thanks

[RainbowSteph]

Yes Summer,

I guess you were posting a solution the same time I came here to let Lynne and Rob know I solved it.

Thanks for helping

[RainbowSteph]

Okay... I think I got this solved... Since this feature quit working on my current live site... the excerpt and read more link disappeared with the recent 2.0 and wordpress upgrades, something changed that didn't support my older genesis theme.

Whats very surprise when the read more/continue reading wasn't in Metro Pro....

Thanks to Rob for his code and Lynne suggestion something about permalink, I check the functions on my older theme and low and behold... there was the permalink code.

So I took that line, modified it slightly and replaced Rob's last line of code with it wa la... it works

This is the code I used just in case anybody else experiences the same problem

// Add Read More Link to Excerpts
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'get_read_more_link');
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'get_read_more_link' );
function get_read_more_link() {
   return '... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '"> [Continue Reading]</a>';
}

Thanks Lynne and Rob

Lynne,

I tried there already and none of them worked... that's why I came here. I do review the tutorials, code snippets and even do a search for the forums before posting.

Thanks

[RainbowSteph]

Well we're making progress....

I removed the code I was using
//* 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 '... [Continue Reading]';
}

I cut and pasted the code you provided in my functions.php uploaded and now the words Read More do show up and when you hover over the words change change color like a live link... but no link 🙁

This is different from the one I used... let me give it try

[RainbowSteph]

Hi Rob,

Not sure what you mean by inserting it manually? Is there a piece of code I need to add in the functions etc.? It seems like this feature totally disappeared with Genesis 2.0... on my current the site the archive/blog read more link also disappeared and is replaced with [...]

Although I'm not panicky about it because I'm doing a makeover, the afitnessbug site is a test site for the makeover...

Thanks

[RainbowSteph]

Hi Rob,

I don't want the display post content, that's why I changed it excerpt. Although I wouldn't mind more content to the excerpt.
Is there a way to add a read more link like on the home page?

Thanks

[RainbowSteph]

Hi Lynne

Yep that helped... thanks

[RainbowSteph]

Thanks Lynne I'll give it a try

[RainbowSteph]

Hi Lynn

Totally clueless how you would add html to the custom footer code recommended in the code snippets

I can cut and paste into the functions but that's about it. If there is tutorial explaining how to add html to the code in the code snippet, I can usually following it.

Thanks

[RainbowSteph]

Hi Lynne

I went through my stylesheet and the only place I found the margin-bottom: 32px is in the entry section
.single .entry and in the sidebar section .widget

I'm not seeing any widget in the header section in the stylesheet... even did a search for margin-bottom: 32px; and the only two I found I mentioned above.

Any clues where it is would be appreciated.

Thanks

[RainbowSteph]

Thanks Tony... yes emasai I have resized my brower too. This link allows you see the various formats on one page.

[RainbowSteph]

Hi Rob

I compared my PC to my lap top browser settings for chrome and the minimum font size was different... Lap top on tiny and PC was somewhere in the middle... changed it to tiny and now the site displays the same.

Thanks for letting me know about the font size settings that was where the problem was located.

All solved.

Displaying on Firefox just fine.

[RainbowSteph]

Sorry Rob for the delay

It's just chrome on my PC that's the problem. On my laptop it adjust just fine. So there must be some setting on my PC that's causing the weird display.

Thanks

[RainbowSteph]

Didn't know there was a text size in Chrome... I know there is a zoom... I'll assume it's in settings somewhere and will let you know the verdict.

Thanks

[RainbowSteph]

Thanks Susan

But the re-install did the trick... something must not have installed/uploaded correctly with the first install of wordpress/genisis and/or xml.

Got it set up just like the demo site.

Since this a test site for new theme for our live site, your plug in recommendation will come in very handy once everything is set up to move to the live site.

[RainbowSteph]

Confused Susan

I thought the theme automatically resized photos...

I give up... totally uninstalled the wordpress and will start all over again...

Maybe I missed something in the tutorials

Thanks
