Hey guys,

I’m using a custom read-more link with this on the Integrity stack:

// Excerpt More String
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_excerpt_string' ) ) :
  function x_excerpt_string( $more ) {
    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
      return '  <div><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a></div>';
    }
    else {
            return '<div><a class="more-link" href="' . wp_login_url(get_permalink()) . '">Log in to read more</a></div>';
    }
  }
  add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'x_excerpt_string' );
endif;

// Content More String
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_content_string' ) ) :
  function x_content_string( $more ) {

    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
      return ' <div><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a></div>';
    }
    else {
            return '<div><a class="more-link" href="' . wp_login_url(get_permalink()) . '">Log in to read more</a></div>';
    }
  }

  add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'x_content_string' );
endif;

This works fine on the general blog listing but the link doesn’t show up on category listings. I was under the impression categories would use the same function, am I missing something here?

You can take a look on http://www.visionmountain.com/blog and http://visionmountain.com/category/consciousness-and-life-issues/

Thanks.

Hi there,

Login to read more link shows fine on archive page (see the attachment) but in blog page it doesn’t due to following blocks of code :

.blog #read-more {
    display: none;
}
.blog .has-post-thumbnail .entry-content {
    display: none;
}

Please remove those blocks.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

The .blog class targets the http://visionmountain.com/blog page and not the individual category pages. .entry-content shows up on those pages (with body classes of .archive and .category, not .blog).

#read-more is a div added to content.php to show users who are not logged in:

<?php echo '<div style="text-align: center;" id="read-more"><a href="' . wp_nonce_url(wp_login_url(get_permalink()), 'login_') . '">Log in to read more</a></div>'; ?>

However, logged in users should still see the regular Read More link at the end of the excerpt (added with the read more tag in the individual posts).

I fixed the problem by adding the following to my child theme’s content.php:

<?php if (is_user_logged_in()) {
      echo ' <div><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a></div>';
    }
    else {
            echo '<div><a class="more-link" href="' . wp_nonce_url(wp_login_url(get_permalink()), 'login_') . '">Log in to read more</a></div>';
    } ?>

It feels more like a hack than anything else though, so I’m all ears if anyone has a better solution.

Thanks.
