making the READ MORE button appear automaticly after XX words

anyone? please

As far as I know, you’ll need a theme that supports this feature, or a plugin that adds it, as it is not build into WordPress.

I know that all StudioPress themes have this setting, but not sure about free themes here in the WordPress repository.

You could try this in your functions.php (in a child theme.)

/* EXCERPT LENGTH */
function new_excerpt_length($length) {
	return 36;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

Change “36” to however many words you want. Then set your page to display excerpts. In twentyeleven, you would do that in the content.php but if you are using a different theme it might be different, you’ll have to ask the designer.

tried that, didnt work but i found this function in theme

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
return '<a>ID) . '">' . '??[ Read More ]' . '</a>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

any chance i can change it somehow to make the read more button show automaticly after 5 words?

[Please post code snippets between backticks or use the code button.]

i have a new idea
using quick adsense i can add any html code to anywere i want in the post automaticly
is there any html code for “read more” in wordpress?

BUMP

This is the WordPress quick tag code.
<!--more-->

There is a More button you can click on as well, which inserts the code for you when visiting using the visual editor.

i tryed that and i saw in the html place doing the <–more–> code but when i paste that into the quick adsense it wont effect the post, but if lets say i put a google code or write something it will show it

I have no idea what Quick Adsense is, so my guess is that it won’t recognize the code. You have to add it directly to the HTML in the text editor, and not by using the plugin you mention above, which is probably geared towards ad embed codes, and not WordPress quick tags.
