Hello,
I noticed that the contents in the archive page are printed using WordPress native function the_excerpt(). It doesn’t have “continue reading” link by default.
To print the “continue reading” link out, try to add the following function. The following function will manipulate the the_excerpt() output via get_the_excerpt filter.
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'zerif_add_read_more_link');
function zerif_add_read_more_link($post_excerpt){
global $post;
if(strstr($post->post_content,'<!--more-->')) {
$more_link = ' <a class="more-link" href="'.esc_attr(get_permalink($post->ID) . "#more-{$post->ID}").'">'.__('Continue reading', 'zerif-lite').'</a>';
return $post_excerpt . $more_link;
}
return $post_excerpt;
}
Make sure you add the function above in the child theme’s functions.php file.
Please read this helpful tutorial https://docs.themeisle.com/article/14-how-to-create-a-child-theme, in case you don’t have a child theme yet.
I hope this reply helps.
