[resolved] How to add 'Read more' link on the Homepage (4 posts)

    Hi there

    This might sound so lame but I need to know how I can add a 'Read more..' link next to comment link on the homepage of wordpress.

    Using the admin panel, when I add a post or snippet of an article on the homepage, I click on the link it takes me to that actual page with the comments which is fine. However, I would like to have my snippet on the homepage but have both links; 'Comments' and 'Read More' link to the full article page with the comments.

    Here is a great example

    Does anyone know how this is accomplished?

    By the way, how do you add a 'next page or previous page number links on the homepage or any page?

    Many thanks in advance
    CHEERS :)

    basically you just add the short code
    <!--more-->
    where you want excerpt to end

    for the other

    Hi Samboll, thanks for the feedback :).

    I will give that one a try and hopefully can replace 'Next and Previous links' text for numbers '123..more' instead.

    Cool then, will post back asap.

    Aarrhh! Learning how to replace 'next' and 'previous' links for numbers was a headache until I found this 'wp-page-numbers' plugin. This might be old for some of the experience wordpress users but make no mistake, I found it newbies.

    Would of been nice if someone told me about it (Mods I might have to relieve you from your job. As the new Sheriff around here, I will be giving everyone the orders k hehe lol). Na too easy so far so good, now on to the next process.

    Almost forgot, here is the link to the plugin.

    Don't thank me yet, thank you for your donation into my bank account yehehe lol. Na kidding, I'm just over the moon, no more headaches, that's all that's all.
