Title: Change buttons Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Change buttons * [ValleyJim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valleyjim/) * (@valleyjim) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-buttons-3/) * I hate to say this but I think the styling on the “Continue Reading” and “Read the Rest” buttons is a little on the ugly side and they are too large (this is just my opinion of course! 🙂 ) * Now, what I would like to do is 1) completely remove the “Continue Reading” button because is just seems redundant to me. and 2) restyle the “Read the Rest” button. * So where do I need to look to get these things accomplished? * Thanks!

Is there a link where we can have a look? * Thread Starter [ValleyJim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valleyjim/) * (@valleyjim) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-buttons-3/#post-7456082) * JimandMS.com * I have done some work to the style of the buttons and I am not finished with that yet. The “Read the Rest” could be from a plugin but what I wind up with is a button that says read the rest and another that says continue reading….. * All of the social links are fine and I like the divider I would just like to get rid of the continue reading. * Thanks for looking!

Also you can use in your post editor the “insert read more tag” button, to divide the excerpt from the content. Let me know if you have any issues * Thread Starter [ValleyJim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valleyjim/) * (@valleyjim) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-buttons-3/#post-7456264) * Thanks for the info.
