Removing the Read More.. buttons on the Home page

  • I wanted to remove the Read More… buttons on the Home page, but couldn’t find a easy way to do it when searching Google. I found the .css code needed to accomplish this in a couple of places, but it involved creating a child page and was a little over my head.

    After some further thought, I remembered a location where you could add .css to the page, and pasted in the code I found. It worked like a charm!

    Hopefully this will help others who are trying to accomplish the same results.

    To remove the Read More… links or buttons, just go to your Theme Options under the Appearance link on the left of the interface. Choose Styling, and past the .css code there.

    The code for removing the Read More buttons is:

    .feature_contentbox a.readmore {
    display:none;
    }

    I’m learning more & more about this every minute, but this one seemed to be tricky to do, so hopefully anyone that does a search will stumble onto this post.

    Happy site building,

    Thadd

  • Hi Thadd-

    Thanks for posting this. I am trying to remove the read more option too, but I cannot get the code to work. I copied and pasted the code in the correct spot. Can you offer any other advice?
    Thank you.

    Hi md,

    Dumb question, but I’m assuming you hit the Save Changes after inserting the code?? ??

    Did you copy all the code? I sometimes miss a little piece of it when I’m tired or going too fast. Be sure you have the dot before feature and that last brace after the semicolon.

    You’ll see my links gone from the page.

    Let me know if you missed anything I mentioned.

    Hi qubanac,

    I figured it out. You need to add another bit of .css code below the other one.

    Add this under the one you added before:

    .signup-text .button1 {
    display:none;
    }

    With the other code, it should look like this in the box:

    .feature_contentbox a.readmore {
    display:none;
    }
    .signup-text .button1 {
    display:none;
    }

    Let me know how that works.

    Thanks,

    Thadd

    Thanks m8, it’s working like a charm ??
    Finally, home page looking good.

    Best regards, and thank U one more time ??

    So I apologize for sounding (ok being) ignorant, but I’m new to this. I looked in the Appearances: Theme Options section for a Styling section (see comment from Thadd), and don’t see one. I’m using the free version, so I’m wondering if you folks are using the paid version, and perhaps that’s why I’m not seeing it. Perhaps I don’t have the ability to remove the ‘read more’ links?

    The Styling link is now gone, I guess they changed the theme??

    I’m going to look for a different one that isn’t so expensive to buy.
