How to remove Read more?

Hi Niko,

First, can you supply a link to the actual site?
I see the problem, but need to look at the code of the site to get a better idea of what’s going on. Thanks!

Second, did the ‘text not formatted’ problem start when you removed the ‘Read More’ link?
If so, how did you remove it? Was it done through the style sheet (CSS) or through coding the page?

If it was done through the coding of the page, try and put it back, see if that re-formats the text properly.

Removing the ‘Read More’ though CSS would be less invasive.
In the stylesheet.css try:

.more-link {
    display: none;
}

Third, the length of the excerpt.
Right now it’s showing the first XX characters of the post. What you want is the full content.

If you have ‘The Box Plus’ you can set it through the ‘Blog’ options.

Hi Niko,

It looks like you’re changing the theme’s files. I highly recommend setting up a child theme. It will make the process easier.
See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

As for the formatting, yes, I see there’s no new lines etc.

In the content.php file of your child theme 😉 replace
thebox_excerpt(xxx); with the_content();

That will display all the formatted content on the page.

If you want to use the excerpt, try the_excerpt();

You should be able to move the header to above the bar.

Try editing the Theme Header file (header.php).
Near the bottom you will see something like:

<?php $header_image = get_header_image();
			if ( ! empty( $header_image ) ) { ?>
				<a class="header-image" href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home">
					<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo get_custom_header()->width; ?>" height="<?php echo get_custom_header()->height; ?>" alt="" />
				</a>
		<?php } // if ( ! empty( $header_image ) ) ?>

This is what generates the header.
Move it to where you want it (above the menu).
Make sure you include all the PHP code in that block so errors don’t happen.

The menu code is above header image and looks like:

<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
			<button class="menu-toggle"><span class="icon-font icon-menu"></span></button>
			<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
		</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->

In the end, it will look something like:

<?php $header_image = get_header_image();
			if ( ! empty( $header_image ) ) { ?>
				<a class="header-image" href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home">
					<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo get_custom_header()->width; ?>" height="<?php echo get_custom_header()->height; ?>" alt="" />
				</a>
		<?php } // if ( ! empty( $header_image ) ) ?>

		<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
			<button class="menu-toggle"><span class="icon-font icon-menu"></span></button>
			<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
		</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->

Note: You may want to move the social links bar as well. You can move it around the same way.

The .more-link {display: none;} worked for me. Thank you Dearly Lisa.
