the ‘contineue reading’ comes from this line in the html code in the browser, from the <head> section:
<meta property="og:description" content="Pen and ink Illustration of a female warthog skull, don’t ask us how we know its a female, we just know. This beautiful specimen is on loan from the Booth Museum in Hove, for the purposes of having its portrait … <a href="http://piecesofpaint.com/2012/01/01/643/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a>" />
caused by a badly programmed plugin

remove the plugin and find a better one.
Thank you very much alchymyth,
I had no idea it was coming from my header description.
I did in fact have that plugin some time ago but it is currently uninstalled and also deleted,
some plugin however (i still couldnt work out which one, as I deactivated my current meta data plugin and the continue reading still appeared) was calling my excerpt as my meta description – which is in fact what i want, but my functions.php (based from twenty-eleven) was calling a continue reading link for all my excerpts, I managed to circumvent the problem by changing the line (313) to return nothing at all as shown:
function twentyeleven_continue_reading_link() {
return '';
this is probably an inelegant solution – hopefully one that wont bring back gremlins elsewhere? – I am very grateful that you brought the problem into the realms of my understanding so that I could at least do something about it!
Hi Guys,
We are having a few issues similar to the one above. Unfortunately when we try the fix:
function twentyeleven_continue_reading_link() {
return ”;
It removes all the ‘read more >’ from our page excerpts.
Here’s a link to our site showing the error message: http://www.playgroundgroup.net/jmis/company/
If anyone has any ideas on how we can fix this, that would be great!
Thanks
Sarah
