I am using twentyfourteen template
I set my posts to display on a custom page, not in home page.
I went to wp-content >>> themes >>> twentyfourteen >>> content.php
and replaced the_content with the_excerpt.
Now my custom posts page displays short versions of the posts, but there is no link to the full version of the post.
I do not want to add “read more” manually to each post
I do not want to add excerpt manually to each post
According to codex replacing the_content with the_excerpt will automatically display first 55 words of the post. It does but there is no “read more” or anything else to the full post in the end.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your help.

]]>At this link the author asks for how to display “Read more” link in post shorter than the excerpt lenght:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/excerpt-read-more-link-doesnt-show-on-short-posts?replies=5
I had the same problem and the solution presented worked perfectly for me.
But I would like to display the […] too! How I can? I cant find the code that manage the affixing of […]
I know that […] make poor sense in this case because there are no more words in the post but links in the excerpt do not work, so with […] I suggest readers to open the full post…
Any idea?
Thanks!

]]>Two or more templates for a blog post. One that’s full with a big title, byline, etc., great for full stories. Another that’s minimal, without showing a title or perhaps just a minimal formatting; great for quick notes or tweets.
What do you use to help your site do this? Suggestions?
]]>I have a site that has contributions from a lot of people. Each has their own category, so all their posts can be collected on their own page. At the top of this page I have a sticky post, which is a very brief sentence introducing the writer. Is it possible to get rid of the “Continue reading” link from this one post, since you’ve already read the sentence so “continue reading” is redundant?
The site is https://awwproject.org. See “Aisha” under The Writers to see the kind of sticky post I’m talking about.
Many thanks in advance!

I have a large library/index type of website. For example, I have nearly 3,000 items listed in alphabetic order. Such as 100 in category A, 200 in category B and so on. Now each category, or letter (A-Z) is a single page with all the appropriate listings, aka one large post.
My question is hopefully a simple one. What are the Pros & Cons of listing one large post with many different ‘entries’ or ‘listings’, rather than making that one large post into many small posts?
My website is https://www.trojanlibrary.net for a more visual example. I appreciate any feedback, thank you.
