Read More link stopped working

    So I just noticed the other day that the “read more” links on the blog section of my site are not working:
    http://www.local-pc-pro.com/news-and-tech-tips/

    I have search the forums, most of the topics I found on this were from years ago and haven’t helped yet. I did see one recent one, his solution was in the permalinks. I have mine set to be the blog title and that’s how it has been since I built the site.

    The interesting thing I noticed, when I checked the source code on the live site, I can see the definition of the link and it seems to be correct. When I click on the link in the source code viewer it works fine.

    I tried temporarily changing to one of the default themes, but it seemed to use a different type of “read more” linking then the one I’m currently using. I also tried updating the theme I’m currently using, but that actually broke more stuff and didn’t fix the problem.

    Hi, I think I have found out what your problem is.

    The jetPack likes widget is sitting on top of the read more link.

    You could disable the widget or modify your style.css at around line 268 with the following:

    .blog_more {
    padding: 0 0 20px;
    position: relative;
    text-align: right;
    z-index: 9999;
}

    This will force the read more link to sit above like widget.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you! That did it. I knew it was something like that I just couldn’t figure it out. I spent awhile yesterday moving things around and adding and subtracting padding. I didn’t think about the z-index.
