Support » Fixing WordPress » Remove my "Continue Reading" Link

  • I wasn’t sure to post this in this forum or the Themes/CSS forums, so I wanted to start here.

    I recently upgraded to a new theme, which was page. Just labeled at THEME1733. I’ve been tinkering with it a lot because the people I’ve paid to help me do the upgrade kinda just upgraded and disappeared when I had questions.

    Now take a look at this page right here. There is a “Full Story” link under each excerpt.

    http://vitareviews.net/category/reviews/

    I want to get rid of that Full Story link because the title links straight to the full post anyways.

    At first, I thought it was because the way it was before, I had to use the “Read More” button in each post. But I removed a few from posts and the Full Story button stayed there.

    I looked in Editor at all of the different files for this. Since this is a custom text for the Continue Reading button, I assumed that searching for “story” would bring something up. That word isn’t in any of the files anywhere, though I started looking in the Theme Functions file.

    So I started looking for other things like the normal code for the continue reading buttons. I didn’t find anything but a simple code for the simple reading button, but nothing about my custom text.

    // custom excerpt ellipses for 2.9+
    	function custom_excerpt_more($more) {
    		return 'Read More »';
    	}
    	add_filter('excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more');
    	// no more jumping for read more link
    	function no_more_jumping($post) {
    		return ' <a>ID).'" class="read-more">'.'Continue Reading'.'</a>';
    	}
    	add_filter('excerpt_more', 'no_more_jumping');

    Removing this code did absolutely nothing.

    I didn’t see anything for this button anywhere in Theme Options and I’ve been spending an hour searching through code to try to find this without luck.

    Any thoughts on how I can remove this, assuming these technicians never do get back with me?

    [Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]

    Hi BerlingerTG!

    What you can do is do a search for the string: Full Story using a text editor like Sublime, Atom, or Brackets. Odds are it is using a custom template for that excerpt, link combination.

    Hope that helps!
