    Hi all,

    I have another question about my blog, http://www.bloggingcss.com

    I’d like the “read more” link (which I customize thanks to the Headerspace plugin) to be wrapped in separate p tags other than those automatically added by WordPress around the text.

    I’ve seen this done on other blogs, such as Smashing Magazine, but I don’t know how to achieve it.

    TIA,
    grazz

    Hi bloggingcss,

    Not sure if you’re still looking for a fix for this, but it may be beneficial for others, as I came across your post searching for this exact problem.

    I ended up using a plugin called Custom More Link. The plugin allows you to format your more link from the admin settings menu; this includes adding additional or changing the class, adding rel=”nofollow”, changing the link text, and wrapping the link in whatever tags you’d like. The plugin also provides the option of variables to use WordPress’ default values. Very simple plugin that makes a world of difference visually.

    Hope this helps,
    Ben

    Hi bloggingcss,

    when you write your article, wrap the tag more in the p tag, like so:
    <p><!--more--></p>

    In this way, your more tag will appear in a separate paragraph.

    … hoping I have correctly understood your needs. 🙂

    add this to your functions.php

    function add_p_tag($link){
    return “<p>$link</p>”;
    }
    add_filter(‘the_content_more_link’, ‘add_p_tag’);
