Hahaha! * Sorry, I made a mess of that post. In short: the tag works, but the resulting “continue reading” link does not. And I’m afraid that is because of my child theme 🙁 * I now have to dig deeper in (1) the WordPress magic and (2) the Blogolife magic( as that seems slightly different than the default WordPress themes…) * You think I should remove the confusing part of my last post? 😉 * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[BlogoLife] Make homepage posts only show summary](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-homepage-posts-only-show-summary/) * [jopsvanthof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jopsvanthof/) * (@jopsvanthof) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-homepage-posts-only-show-summary/#post-3688282) * VERY interesting… I do not have that box/field with pages, nor with posts!! : S * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[BlogoLife] Blogolife – changing style to remove red title icon](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blogolife-changing-style-to-remove-red-title-icon/) * [jopsvanthof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jopsvanthof/) * (@jopsvanthof) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blogolife-changing-style-to-remove-red-title-icon/#post-3619932) * Page looks OK to me too (in Safari on Mac) * If style.css is the only file you have updated, make a copy of the CSS file ( or just in case, make a copy of ALL your current Blogolife theme files, you never know…), remove and reinstall the Blogolife theme, create a child theme as per the WordPress Codex instructions (with folder and css-file with specific “import instructions”) and activate the child theme. It works like a charm! * However, if you go more into more complex child-theme things… you run into more complex issues 😉 As I currently am 🙁 * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[BlogoLife] Make homepage posts only show summary](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-homepage-posts-only-show-summary/) * [jopsvanthof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jopsvanthof/) * (@jopsvanthof) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-homepage-posts-only-show-summary/#post-3688277) * [@victor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/victor/) Tihai: where can I find the “excerpt field”? * @ evermine77: the setting in [Settings] > [Reading] > [For each article in a feed, show] is only for (RSS) feeds, not for the home page. Inserting the tag in my post works for me, but you have to do it in the [Text] tab of the post editor. In the [Visual] tab of the post editor, there’s a button “Insert More Tag – Alt + Shift + T” (it’s between the “unlink” and “spell checker” buttons). Try that and let me know if it works. * However, for me, the tag makes the homepage show a summary and a “continue reading tag”. Yay! So far so good! * The “continue reading tag” link points to the post’s permalink, with an anchor(# more-5). In one of the default themes, this works fine… the anchor somehow gets inserted into the post by the WordPress “magic”. In the Blogolife theme however, when I click the link, the post cannot be found. Even worse, the post’s permalink WITHOUT the anchor doesn’t work either… It seems like the post has vanished. * I want to fix this WITHOUT using a plugin. So I’d rather change something in the (child) theme’s php files. Anyone out there that knows how to fix this? Note that the BlogoLife theme has a rather complex structure with Backend (be) and Frontend (fe) folders and php files… :S * PS. I LOVE the Blogolife theme!!! PPS. Dang… I wanted to add my website’s URL to show you the problem. However, for the “live” website, I had to undo the excerpt change, so the site works. So I installed the Blogolife theme on another test site of mine… There it seems to WORK!!! So this seems to be an issue with my Blogolife CHILD theme that I have created… 🙁 Still, any tips, tricks and hints where to look will be gratefully received!! PPPS. For what it’s worth: the “live” site with child theme where the tag doesn’t work, but where I now removed it is: [http://www.projecticon.org](http://www.projecticon.org).

Check out this very informative tutorial ([http://w3schools.com/css/css_attribute_selectors.asp](http://w3schools.com/css/css_attribute_selectors.asp) and [http://w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_attselector_valuelist_space](http://w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_attselector_valuelist_space)). * In your particular case, you could add the following to your style.css: * ``` [title="LEARNER DRIVER ADVICE"] { color:red; } ``` * Hope this helps!
