Hi,

Generally I am happy with the standard excerpt functionality offered by WordPress and that what my theme provides.

My family site is picture oriented and many posts have just an introducing sentence and a gallery or video follows. In these cases obviously no “more link” appears.
Therefore I tried this plugin to make this happen.

I just want a “more link” automatically added, if the post has less then 45 words and a picture/gallery or video is included.

Is that doable with this plugin? Couldn’t get this to work… ??

Appreciate any help.

Kind regards.

Hello. I have added this plugin to my blog and installed it. When I activate it, the new default read more link appears, however when clicking on this link an error pops up stating page not found. Will you please help me with this install? My website is velvetandvino.com

I am using CMLC to make static More links. A great enhancement would be if I could make static links that used the category name.

Category = “News”, link = https://www.domain.com/news
Category = “Events”, link = https://www.domain.com/events

I tried using %category% in the URL, but it just printed %category%. I’m assuming the five tags listed on the settings page are the only ones that work. Or did I do it wrong? My Permalink setting is default (the first one).

This may be a function of how I’m using WP but I get WP’s More link AND CMLC’s.

I’m using WP to populate a sidebar that I’ve made on a standard page. I have a test page which displays the post using the_excerpt and get_the_excerpt. Here’s the loop:

$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&category_name=News&order=ASC&orderby=post_date');
foreach ($posts as $post) :
	start_wp();
	echo ("<br />");
	the_title();
	$body = get_the_excerpt();
	echo("<br /><span class=\"tiny\">$body</span><br />");
	the_excerpt();
endforeach;

Both times the post is displayed, I get the “Continue Reading” link from WP and then the one from CMLC (which does go to the URL I want). I’m technically using TwentyEleven but these are not true WP pages. I start each page with

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('wp/wp-blog-header.php');

I can’t think of any other info I can add. What is causing the WP link to be there?

When standard /?p=3881 type links are used instead of /name-of-post/ links, this plugin still uses /name-of-post/ resulting in 404s on all Read More links!

Hello,

since version 1.4 it does not work correctly in categories anymore.

I have a <div> wrapped around my custom tag, which is displayed correctly on the frontpage, but which is removed completely on the category pages. Earlier version had no problem with that and did not remove the <div> arround the link.

Greetings

“Continue reading…” just doesn’t sound good for a lot of sites, and tweaking the templates is a challenge for many users. This plugin allows you to change “Continue reading…” to whatever you want. And the support is the best I’ve ever seen. Florin is responsive, and he seems like a really nice guy. I had an issue with something conflicting with this plugin, so I set Florin up as an admin on my site and he fixed the problem right away. I’ve never gotten such great service from any other software developer, ever! Florin, you rock!

I found out that the regular expression to look for the more-link is to greedy. If you have a link in the post, it might wrap the new code around the whole section.

So please replaxe the linke

$search_pattern='=<a href\="(.*)(#more-[\d]+)" class\="([a-zA-Z\-\ ]+)">(.*)<\/a>=';

with

$search_pattern='=<a href\="([^>]*)(#more-[\d]+)" class\="([a-zA-Z\-\ ]+)">(.*)<\/a>=';

to fix this.
