There are several options you have. You can write your own excerpt, or just use the tools which WordPress offers to you. There are three options you have: Use WordPress core function the_excerpt(); Use WordPress core function get_the_excerpt(); Use WordPress filter wp_trim_excerpt(); The easiest and propably most fitting for you is the first one. <?php … Read more
the_excerpt() does not recognise or support the <!– more –> tag. From the documentation: The <!–more–> quicktag requires templates to use the_content() whereas using excerpts requires, and allows, template writers to explicitly choose whether to display full posts (using the_content()) or excerpts (using the_excerpt()). The point is that the_excerpt() allows theme authors (you) to require … Read more
Use the excerpt with a custom read more link in functions.php add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘modify_excerpt_length’ ); function modify_excerpt_length( $length ) { return 15; } add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘your_excerpt_more’ ); function your_excerpt_more( $more ) { $more = sprintf( ‘ <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/341980/%s” class=”read-more” rel=”bookmark”>’ . __( ‘Read More’ ) . ‘</a>’, esc_url( get_permalink() ) ); return $more; } Or, … Read more
function excerpt_readmore($more) { return ‘… <a href=”‘. get_permalink($post->ID) . ‘” class=”readmore”>’ . ‘Read More’ . ‘</a>’; } add_filter(‘excerpt_more’, ‘excerpt_readmore’); Please add above code into functions.php
The issue may be due to the .po file, or perhaps it’s caching. Check to see if there are no caching plugins on your site and if there are no server caching enabled. You should also try using a translation plugin such as WP My Translate or Loco Translate.
You can use the solution bellow with jQuery: jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(“.post-read-more”).each(function(){ jQuery(this).click(); }); // And if you want to finally disable this links jQuery(“.question-read-more”).remove(); jQuery(“.question-read-less”).remove(); }); Bests, Camille
add_filter(‘gettext’, ‘translate_my_text’ ); function translate_my_text($translated) { $translated = str_ireplace(‘Leave a comment on: “%s”’, ‘my text“%s”’, $translated); $translated = str_ireplace(‘Leave a Comment’, ‘my text’, $translated); $translated = str_ireplace(‘Read More’, ‘my text’, $translated); $translated = str_ireplace(‘READ MORE’, ‘my text’, $translated); return $translated; }
Perhaps there is an issue with the “Ellipsis” HTML character you are using? function modify_read_more_link() { return ‘<a class=”more-link” href=”‘ . get_permalink() . ‘”>( Continue … )</a>’; } add_filter( ‘the_content_more_link’, ‘modify_read_more_link’ );
