Having Trouble with showing the "Keep Reading" Link
-
I am using the boxed page layout with the content on the right and the secondary sidebar on the left.
I would like to list 4 of the latest posts, but have a “Keep Reading” link instead of the full post.
I tried to show the “Keep Reading” link by going under the Templates tab, then selecting the Blog template, then under Entry Content, I dragged over the Post Excerpt box and dragged out the Post Content box. Instead of the “Keep Reading” link, a “…” is displayed.
Am I missing another setting that would show the “Keep Reading” link?
Please Help.
UPDATE
For my child theme I used the following code to stylize the excerpt ending.// Remove Functions We Want to Replace function child_theme_setup() { // override parent theme's 'more' text for excerpts remove_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'enlightenment_excerpt_length' ); remove_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'enlightenment_excerpt_more' ); } add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'child_theme_setup' ); //set the length of the excerpt prior to the read more link function md_enlightenment_excerpt_length( $length ) { if( is_singular() ) return 100; if( doing_action( 'enlightenment_after_header' ) ) return 100; $grid = enlightenment_get_grid( enlightenment_current_grid() ); if( 3 == $grid['content_columns'] ) return 50; if( 4 == $grid['content_columns'] ) return 50; return 100; } add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'md_enlightenment_excerpt_length' ); //set the text of the excerpt Keep Reading Link function new_excerpt_more( $more ) { return '... <a class="read-more" href="'. get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . '">' . __('Read More →', 'enlightenment') . '</a>'; } add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more' );These functions let me customize the excerpt length and make the Keep Reading link customized for my needs.
Thanks for such a flexible theme!
