   My theme doesn't have "read more" at the bottom of posts and I can't figure out how to put them there.

   http://www.graphictask.com/?page_id=68

   It does have an option to make blog posts thumbnails but that just formats the text and looks ugly :( I just want to have a standard read more.. Please, please help if you can.

   Are you using

   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

   or are you using

   <?php the_content(); ?>

   If you are using the excerpt it should come up automatically, if you are using the content then you can do the follow although you'll already be showing all the post!

   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"?>Read more..</a>

   Hi,

   Check with this article:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More

   Also check with these plugins:

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/excerpt-editor/

   Thanks,

   rainemaida, thanks for the reply!

   I looked in my index and there is no <?php the_excerpt(); ?> or <?php the_content(); ?>

   am I looking in the wrong place?

   thanks for the links shane but I can't use the plugins because I have no excerpt. And I can;t find them in the index.. the theme I purchased is just weird.

   I hope this would work

   <?php the_content('Read more...') ?>

   you can give style also using class
   <?php the_content('<p class="readmore">Read more</p>') ?>
