Read More link not showing

[ozzywood]

My home page shows excerpts, but not the actual Read More link.

I have gone through numerous posts on this forum, but can’t seem to understand what I’m doing wrong.

The site is https://thestorydepartment.com.

Thank you.

Cheers,

Karel

Hey Karel,

I see you’re using the Icon Stack. The Icon and Ethos stacks does not have a Read More link by design. I’ll post a sample code that will override that behavior but please note that this is outside the scope of our support. We will not fix issues that will arise from the use of custom code nor provide further enhancements.

Please copy the code below and paste it to your child theme’s functions.php

add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'override_x_excerpt_string', 20 );

function override_x_excerpt_string() {
	return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
}

The output would look like this:

Hope that helps.
