Can you tell me how you solved it? I’m having the same issues, and I’ve also tried the same things you listed above. Thanks for any help you can offer.
EDIT: Also using Divi theme.
I also have problem the same above but i use twentythirteen theme and WP 3.9.1
I need to know other way to get more tag in my posting. Thanks first.
I’m so sorry, I didn’t see your questions earlier..
This is how I solved it:
I added the following in my functions.php:
function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
global $post;
return $output . ‘ID) . ‘”> Read More…‘;
}
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘excerpt_read_more_link’);
Don’t know why but it didn’t work the first time I tried it… Hope it works with you 😉
Can you tell where you put the extra code in the functions.php
I have the same issue with the divi theme but inserting does not work.
When checking the php code and syntax I can see the second } does not close the first { (Checked with notepad++)
The code is correct because when I put just this piece of code the accolades correspond.
I tried adding this code before the first function declaration in the file and after the last function declaration
I put it after the last function, just like I posted here..
function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
global $post;
return $output . ‘ID) . ‘”> Read More…‘;
}
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘excerpt_read_more_link’);
Did you try it like these?
Hi,
Thanks for your prompt response.
I did try that but this causes a total outage of the website and the cms access. Needed to login via ftp to put the original file back in place.
Could this have to do with the version of theme.
According to the message in wordpress there is an update available.
I am not the owner and not sure of an update is wanted right now.
I’ll try again later this evening and see if it works when the code is added to the end
In “Settings”/reading choose “Summary”. In “epanel”/General, enable “Blog Style Mode” and enable “Use excerpts when defined”.
Hi Didier,
Thanks for the addition. I tested this but I still do not get the “Read More” text.
Do I still need to add code to the functions.php?
EDIT:
Just added the code to the functions.php and get the read more link now.
However now I am missing the excerpt of the blogpost.
Switching on blogstyle mode shows the complete post even when the show excerpts is switched on.
Hello gerhard59,
No modification in functions.php or other .php file. Only in “Settings” and “epanel”.
Settings>Reading should only affect the RSS feed. Not archive pages.
I think the 2nd part of Didier’s solution only works if you define an excerpt on each post…?
I’ve been looking for the same solution – Didier’s suggestion works for me IF I also use the “Insert Read More Tag” on each post – if I recall, this may not be available as a button above the text in the native WordPress editor, but I always TinyMCE Advanced which makes this much easier.
Hope that helps – and thanks Didier!
