[SEVERO]

Hi there

Have looked through the forum and have tried a couple of things but haven’t found a solution.

Where do I find this file or what do I need to add to change this?

Cheers

Hi Severo,

This is possible by adding a snippet of code onto your child theme’s function.php file. What text would you like it to say? More information can be found here : http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More

Let us know if you need further help and we’ll be happy to assist you (as long as it’s within support bounds) Have a nice weekend!

Hi there

Thanks for the quick reply. I did see this link but couldn’t get it to work.

This is function.php as it stands:

<?php

function x_excerpt_string( $more ) {

$stack = x_get_stack();

if ( $stack == ‘integrity’ ) {
return ‘ … <div>Read More</div>’;
} else if ( $stack == ‘renew’ ) {
return ‘ … Read More‘;
} else if ( $stack == ‘icon’ ) {
return ‘ …’;
}

}
add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘x_excerpt_string’ );

And would like to add this:

<?php the_content(‘ Read on…’); ?>

Not too sure where to place it though 🙁

Hey Severo,

Please try changing the Read More texts in content.php located at wp-content\themes\x\framework\functions\global\.

Thanks.

Hi there

Yes, tried that with no success 🙁

Hi Severo,
Lets do another thing.
Please go to x/framework/lang/default.po

Open up the po file with poedit software. Search for ‘Read More’ and replace it with desired phrase.

You can find out more about this HERE.

Thank you.

Hi there

Not having a lot of luck. Quick question, why am I getting a ‘Read More’ button here and not on my home page?

Hi Severo,
Would you please tell us what was the problem?
Did you follow the instructions and updated your po file using poedit and still you can not change the read more text?
Thanks

Poedit Error
warning: header field ‘Language’ missing in header

1 issue with the translation found.
Entries with errors were marked in red in the list. Details of the error will be shown when you select such an entry.
The file was saved safely and compiled into the MO format, but it will probably not work correctly.

Changed up some of the php in your function file and I think we got it working.

Changed the PHP to:

<?php

function x_child_theme_setup() {
	// override parent theme's 'more' text for excerpts
	remove_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'x_excerpt_string' ); 
	remove_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'x_content_string' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'x_child_theme_setup' );

function x_child_excerpt_string( $more ) {
  $stack = x_get_stack();
  if ( $stack == 'integrity' ) {
    return '<div><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="x-btn">Read On ...</a></div>';
  } else if ( $stack == 'renew' ) {
    return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="x-btn">Read More</a>';
  } else if ( $stack == 'icon' ) {
    return ' ...';
  }

}
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'x_child_excerpt_string' );

?>

Hope this helps.

WOW!!! Thank you very much 🙂

One last thing which I cam’t seem to figure out. How would I drop the button down about 20px?

Cheers

Hi Servo,

Thank you for writing in!

Please add the following CSS:

.x-btn {
   margin-top: 20px;
}

Cheers!

[SEVERO]
