 * I’ve recently installed a new theme and have been trying to alter some of the
   design features on the front page.
 * I have the most up to date posts, listed under a feature box, each with a read
   more button next to them by default.
 * I want to change this ‘Read More’ text to something else but am having great 
   difficulty attempting it.
 * I’ve tried playing around with this code I have found
 * **_[please [use the code button to mark any posted code ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code)–
   the sections below are broken]_**
 *  <?php if($theme->display(‘read_more’)) { ?>
    <div class=”readmore”> #more-<?
   php the_ID(); ?>” title=”<?php printf( esc_attr__( ‘Permalink to %s’, ‘themater’),
   the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ ) ); ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php $theme->option(‘read_more’);?
   > </div> <?php } ?>
 * But as soon as I altered it to what I thought was right, which was this:
 * **_[please [use the code button to mark any posted code ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code)–
   the sections below are broken]_**
 *  <?php if($theme->display(‘get_it’)) { ?>
    <div class=”readmore”> #more-<?php
   the_ID(); ?>” title=”<?php printf( esc_attr__( ‘Permalink to %s’, ‘themater’ ),
   the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ ) ); ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php $theme->option(‘get_it’);?
   > </div> <?php } ?>
 * It disappeared. Any ideas?

 * Since this is a commercial theme with its own functionality and support system,
   I recommend you contact the theme developer for assistance: [http://newwpthemes.com/forum/](http://newwpthemes.com/forum/)
 * If I look at the code you provided I think you can change the “read more” text
   in your theme’s options page under Appearance > ???
