 * Hey there Erik,
 * How are you doing today?
 * You should be able to remove read more link with some custom CSS. Please try 
   adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of your [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   or add it in your site using the following plugin:
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 *     ```
       a.read-more {
       display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * This should remove the link from your site. If this doesn’t work could you please
   post link to your site so I can take a look?
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * Hey Bojan
 * I have found out how you can let the button go away but I do not want use this
   automatic option of read more..
 * If you post a image you do not see the image but you see only the read more button
 * Best regards,
 * Erik

 * When you place a message in the ascent theme you always get the read more link..
   I do not want that. I want the whole message in the page like in the other theme..

 * I do not think it is possible to show not read more. Even at one point you should
   already read more .. A single picture will not be shown. Close this then …

 * Hey again Erik,
 * I wasn’t able to open the link that you provided but I understand what you’re
   looking to do, thank you for the clarification.
 * To be able to display full posts on your post page you’ll have to make modifications
   in content.php which is located in the root folder of the theme. I strongly suggest
   not editing theme core files but rather making a copy in your [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   and making the changes there.
 * Once you have that open your child theme content.php and go to line 62, it looks
   like this:
 * `<?php the_excerpt(); ?>`
 * Replace that line with this one:
 * `<?php the_content(); ?>`
 * This should display full posts on your post page. Since read more is pretty much
   not having a use there you might want to use the CSS code I provided above as
   well in order to hide it.
 * Hope this helps 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan
