Hello, I am using the latest version of WordPress on my blog and I would like to change the 'continue reading' text into an image but I don't know how to do it. Normally I'd do it on the main index template but this theme seems to be a bit different.
Any help?
Thanks
The loop is in loop.php for TwentyTen theme.
it sounds like you know how to do it, just not where to find the code in Twenty Ten:
this is in loop.php:
<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>there is also the 'read-more' for excerpts in functions.php:
function twentyten_continue_reading_link() {
return ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) . '</a>';
}

OK so basically, this is what I've done so far:
<?php the_content( __( '<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><img src="http://geekhang.com/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/contread.gif" width="165" height="40" alt="Continue Reading..."></img></a>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
When I put <?php echo get_permalink(); ?> in the href quotation marks, the image doesn't show up but when I remove it, the image shows up with a link to the homepage, how can I change this so it links to the post page or how it normally goes to the place on the post page where the continue read line thing was inserted.
I hope you know what I mean lols :P
Thanks
You're passing <?php echo get_permalink(); ?> literally into the function.
Try this:
<?php the_content( __( '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '"><img src="http://geekhang.com/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/contread.gif" width="165" height="40" alt="Continue Reading..."></img></a>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>

Hehe thanks, I'm not a PHP programmer you see. =D
It worked perfectly though, thank you!
You're welcome :)
