Hi wishing4a300. Can you post a link to your site so we can see what it’s doing? Thanks.
You could try copying the default function to your child theme functions.php file:
function alx_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return '...';
}
And modifying the output:
function alx_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return ' Read more...';
}
that got it to say read more, but cannot click on it to go to the whole article
My boss would like the “read more…” to be a clickable link to the article
I actually got it to work using this link
here
but i had to modify the content.php and content-featured.php, i dont want to lose the changes if the update happens, do you know how i can do the same thing without changing those files?
In your first post you said:
I have tried the things in “resolved” articles but they dont seem to work with my site.
The link you just posted above was the first link in your original post you said you had tried but it didn’t work. Did something change?
To answer your question, if you’ve copied the files to your child theme and modified them there, you won’t lose your changes if and when the theme is updated.
no i didnt copy into child theme, should i put in style.php or function.php or should i make the same files in the child theme?
I must have done it wrong the first time or something, i dont know what i did different, just did it again for the heck of it and it work.
You should copy content.php and content-featured.php from the parent theme to your child theme. If you’ve already made the changes to the files in the parent theme then the files you copy to the child theme will be up-to-date. You should then go back to the files in the parent theme and remove the changes you made there. After that your changes should still be active because your site will use the files in your child theme. If that doesn’t work, or you have questions about the process, let me know.
ok, copied the content.php and the content-featured.php files into the child theme, then reversed the changes to those files in the heuman theme and changes stuck, thanks for your help once again. You have been a huge help for me, and im not sure i could have done things as well as i have without you. Keep doing your thing and helping noobs like me out, the internet needs people like you. Once again a huge hearty thanks. If i have any more issues i will post another question in the forum.
Thanks and you’re very welcome. Glad I could help.
