Hi there,

The title is self-explanatory I suppose.

I have purchased your awesome theme and have been using it on my local development server. I noticed the some posts do not show the ‘Read More..’ tag.

A little more digging showed up that it is missing for posts that have Manual Excerpts. To prove my point, I put a manual excerpt ‘Hand Crafted’ and sure enough the read more tag was gone.

Any fixes??

Thanks for your time.

Hi Rupok,

As I said, it is still on my ‘local’ development server. Its on localhost/ so giving the credentials is a no go as of now.

But as I said that it is happening with posts with manual excerpts, may be you could re-produce the issue on your end.??

Hello There,

I am another staff checking on this thread! The read more link in the excerpts will only display if the excerpt is being summarize and have exceeded the default excerpt length. When you have a manual excerpt, you will notice that it will all display no matter how many lines you’ve got. An auto-generated excerpt will also have all shortcodes and tags removed. It is trimmed down to a word-boundary and the default length is 55 words. For languages in which words are (or can be) described with single characters (ie. East-Asian languages) the word-boundary is actually the character. Excerpts are optional hand-crafted summaries of your content that can be used in your theme. Learn more about manual excerpts.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rue,

So I am sure, this part is a bug in the theme. Because I have carefully crafted excerpts for all posts. And now as X works, it does not produce any link in search results. I hope you dont expect me to go and remove manual excerpts from all the content. I am not going to do that as the manually crafted Excerpts are an important aspect of SEO as well.

I guess this needs to be fixed

Thanks for your time

Cheers

Hi There,

Can you try adding the following code on your child theme’s functions.php file:

function custom_excerpt($text) {  // custom 'read more' link
   if (strpos($text, '[...]')) {
      $excerpt = strip_tags(str_replace('[...]', '... <a href="'.get_permalink().'">Read More...</a>', $text), "<a>");
   } else {
      $excerpt = '<p>' . strip_tags($text) . '<a class="read-more" href="'.get_permalink().'">Read More...</a></p>';
   }
   return $excerpt;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'custom_excerpt');

Hope this helps.
