Hi there,

Does it have manually added text excerpt or full content option is enabled in customizer? Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

– WordPress Admin username / password
– FTP credentials

Thanks!

If I manually add a text excerpt on the post page the read more link doesn’t display.

If I let the theme create the excerpt as defined in the customizer blog options the read more link works as expected.

Hi There,

Thank you for the credentials. Please also try adding the following code on your child theme’s functions.php file:

//Read More Button For Excerpt
function themprefix_excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
    global $post;
     if( '' != $post->post_excerpt ){
         return empty( $output ) ? $output : $output . ' <a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '" class="more-link" title="Read More">Read More</a>';
     }
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'themprefix_excerpt_read_more_link' );

Manual excerpt by default doesn’t add read more. Do let us know how this goes.
Hope this helps.

This did add the read more link to the post with manual excerpt but it also cleared the regular automatic excerpt and read more link. I think the previous code needs to be combined with the new code. I tried to combine it using an else but I couldn’t get it to work quite right.

previous code:

// Read more adjustment
function remove_x_excerpt_string() {
  remove_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'x_excerpt_string' );
}

add_filter('after_setup_theme', 'remove_x_excerpt_string');

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
  global $post;
  return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

Hi there,

Please try this:

// Replaces the excerpt "Read More" text by a link
function new_excerpt_more($output) {
    global $post;

    return empty( $output ) ? $output : $output . ' <a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '" class="more-link" title="Read More">Read More</a>';
}

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'new_excerpt_more');

I can work with this but one last thing I can’t figure out is how to center the read more link.

I’ve tried everything I can think of using the more-link class but maybe I’m doing something wrong.

I thought this would work

.more-link { 
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 100%!important;
}

Hi There,

Please try this CSS instead:

.blog .entry-content.excerpt a {
    text-align: center;
}
.blog a.more-link {
    margin: 0 auto;
    display: block;
}

Hope this helps.
