Adding a “read more” link to the category/archive excerpts

  • I have a new WP site at https://www.radicalpress.com/ I publish articles on the home page and then shorten them using the “more” tag. Each article is contained in a Category listed on the sidebar.

    The problem I am having is that when you click on the individual category you only get an excerpt of the original article and no way to access the full story. Is there some way to add the “read more” link so it shows up at the bottom of the excerpt contained in the category?

    I have read and searched in the codex and in the support search and can’t seem to find anything specific to this.

    Any assistance would be most appreciated.

  • and no way to access the full story

    hmm.. What about clicking on the titles?

    Wow! That was quick. Yes that works. Is there a way to have the titles highlighted so one would automatically see that that was the way to get to the full story?

    Thanks so much for the quick response.

    You’d have to use some CSS in your /theme/themename/style.css file. A quick look at your site shows me that your titles are called in a h3, within a div classed “post”.

    You could use the following css:
    .post h3 a {
    color:#F03;
    text-decoration:underline;
    }

    note the colour was just random off the top of my head, you have to pick the right one.

    You could make the font bolder, bigger, smaller, have a background colour, whatever you want.
