Change "Read More" to "See More" in ColorMag Theme

  • I have a video blog and want to change the “Read more” text to “See more” because sometimes there’s not much more to read, just a video to watch.

    I have created a child theme but I need to know which .php file to modify and the correct syntax for the code.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Update: I managed to change the text at the bottom of the excerpt but the big “Read more” in the colored block still says “Read more”. I’d like to change that too.

    Use https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/loco-translate/. You can uninstall it after the change.

    Thanks for your recommendation. I just want to change one word. What I need to know is which file I need to change so that the colored block says “See more” instead of “Read more”. Will the plugin help with that?

    Marion,

    Did the translator plugin work for you? It didn’t work right for me.

    So I did this instead:

    Go to Themes > Editor.

    (Switch to ColorMag on the top-right if you are using a Child Theme… if you don’t know what that is then you’re not using one, it has to be set up manually, by you.)

    Then click Content.php.

    Then press Ctrl+F (to create a “find” box in your browser window. And search for “Read”.

    Once you find something that looks like this: php _e( ‘Read more’, ‘colormag’ );

    Switch the READ MORE to whatever text you want.

    Then click Update File at the bottom of your window.

    NOTE: This will have to be redone each time you update ColorMag. I just have a note in my website notes that says “READ MORE is located in Content.php” so that I remember where to find it.
