How to remove 'read more' button

  • I’ve searched on all the old posts, but can’t seem to find how to tweak it for my site. I want to simply get rid of the ‘read more’ button on my blog, and allow for the whole post to show up on the blog page.

    https://www.groovygentlemen.com/blog

    here’s the content-featured.php code

    <?php $postclass = is_singular() ? '' : 'postblog'; ?>
  <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class($postclass); ?> >
	<div class="entry">

	  <h2 class="posttitle"><a>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

	  <?php if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
	  <p class="postmeta"><small>
		<?php
		  printf( __( 'Posted <span class="metadate">on %1$s</span> <span class="metaauthor">by %2$s</span>', 'primathemes' ), get_the_date(), '<a href="'.get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ).'" title="">'.get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ).'</a>' );
		  if ( comments_open() && ! post_password_required() ) :
			echo '<span class="metacomment"> / ';
			comments_popup_link( __( 'No comments', 'primathemes' ), __( 'One comment', 'primathemes' ), __( '% comment', 'primathemes' ) );
			echo '</span>';
		  endif;
          edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'primathemes' ), ' / ', '' );
		?>
	  </small></p>
	  <?php endif; ?>

	  <div class="postcontent">
	    <?php prima_image( array ( 'width' => 700, 'height' => 275, 'image_class' => 'featuredimage', 'link_to_post' => true ) ); ?>
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	  </div>

	</div>
  </article>

    here’s the content-exceprt.php code

    <?php $postclass = is_singular() ? '' : 'postblog'; ?>
  <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class($postclass); ?> >
	<div class="entry">

	  <h2 class="posttitle"><a>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

	  <?php if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
	  <p class="postmeta"><small>
		<?php
		  printf( __( 'Posted <span class="metadate">on %1$s</span> <span class="metaauthor">by %2$s</span>', 'primathemes' ), get_the_date(), '<a href="'.get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ).'" title="">'.get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ).'</a>' );
		  if ( comments_open() && ! post_password_required() ) :
			echo '<span class="metacomment"> / ';
			comments_popup_link( __( 'No comments', 'primathemes' ), __( 'One comment', 'primathemes' ), __( '% comment', 'primathemes' ) );
			echo '</span>';
		  endif;
          edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'primathemes' ), ' / ', '' );
		?>
	  </small></p>
	  <?php endif; ?>

	  <div class="postcontent">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	  </div>

	</div>
  </article>

  • Replace the_excerpt() width the_content().

    Hi dot nordic, thank you,
    do you mean replace everywhere that says ‘ the_excerpt()’ with ‘the_content()’?

    in both files?

    Replace it wherever you want the output to be the full text instead of the excerpt. If you don’t know where in the theme to do it, check with the authors of your theme. They know better than anyone how the theme is structured.
