Hey guys,
first of all I have to say that I'm absolutely new to WP and I just know basic HTML stuff and almost nothing about PHP. So I'm a complete newbie.
I'm currently running WP-Version 3.1 on my new blog an I use the Twenty-Eleven Theme as it fits my needs almost perfectly. There are just a few things that i want to customize. After some Google-research I found out how to make the theme show excerpts on all kinds of pages e.g. when showing search results or archive posts.
But what it doesn't do is showing a "Read on" link an I don't know why.
Is there something I can do to get it working?
As far as I know it must be something in the functions.php file which currently looks like this (i guess thats the part about the "Read on" link stuff):
/**
* Returns a "Continue Reading" link for excerpts
*/
function twentyeleven_continue_reading_link() {
return ' <a href="'. esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '">' . __( 'noch mehr <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyeleven' ) . '</a>';
}
/**
* Replaces "[...]" (appended to automatically generated excerpts) with an ellipsis and twentyeleven_continue_reading_link().
*
* To override this in a child theme, remove the filter and add your own
* function tied to the excerpt_more filter hook.
*/
function twentyeleven_auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return ' …' . twentyeleven_continue_reading_link();
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'twentyeleven_auto_excerpt_more' );
/**
* Adds a pretty "Continue Reading" link to custom post excerpts.
*
* To override this link in a child theme, remove the filter and add your own
* function tied to the get_the_excerpt filter hook.
*/
function twentyeleven_custom_excerpt_more( $output ) {
if ( has_excerpt() && ! is_attachment() ) {
$output .= twentyeleven_continue_reading_link();
}
return $output;
}
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'twentyeleven_custom_excerpt_more' );
The address of the page is bavarian-observer.de
Would be great if one of you guys knows what to do.
Oh and since I'm german I would like the theme to show not "Read on" but "Noch mehr" instead.
Thanks four your help.
