• I would like to popup a single post in a jquery or ajax modal window after clicking on the “Read more” link on my blog. This popup should show only the post with no headers, footers, sidebars i.e. just a box with the post. How can i achieve this. Can anyone point me to a plugin or hack for this?

  • this link talks about creating a function to replace the action the read more link does

    this link talks about making a link that opens a post’s content in a modal window, without header and footer, etc.

    i like the idea, and it is something i may look into in the future. these two links are exactly where i’d start.

    Thanks digi. I followed the steps in your links until i found it’s easier to do it with thickbox.

    So I installed the pluggin and put the thickbox call in my index.php underneath the `<?php the_content(‘Read more…’); ?>
    <a href=”view-post?id=<?php the_ID(); ?>?keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=650&width=550″ title=”” class=”thickbox”>Continue reading >></a>`

    now I get 2 “read more” links.
    The one I’d really like to keep is the thickbox to replace the one above. How do i make this happen so that <?php the_content(…thickbox…code..above) ?>

    Any ideas?

    i have read more turned off on my theme, though i don’t remember exactly what i did to do that – sorry.

    i would look to turn off the normal one though, unless that will do both. simply googling “wordpress remove read more link” should get you somewhere.
