   i've got 'Read more' buttons beside the post entries on my Videos page and on my Symbols page.

   Is there a way I can change what the buttons say on the Symbols page only?
   I want these ones to read "Buy Prints"

   If you have loop.php go to that
   Else go to index.php

   find <?php the_content(); ?> in it.

   Replace it with <?php the_content('Buy Prints'); ?>

   i could only find <?php the_content(); ?> within search.php and tag.php. it wouldn't be any of those would it?

   It can be in home.php , front-page.php , index.php , loop.php , page.php

   then try search for
   the_excerpt() in above mentioned files. If it is there,

   Add `function custom_excerpt_more( $more ) {
   return 'Buy Prints';
   }

   add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more' );
   ` to your functions.php

   does this code replace the_excerpt() within index.php:

   function custom_excerpt_more( $more ) {
   return 'Buy Prints';
   }

   do i add the following to functions.php:

   add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more' );
   ` to your functions.php

   Add

   function custom_excerpt_more( $more ) {
   return 'Buy Prints';
   }
   
   add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more' );

   to the functions.php ..that's all

    thanks irfan
    i added the code above but it didn't change the text

    to have this on one page only seems is more difficult and thus definitely beyond me
