  • How do i add a “read more” link where the … are ?

    add_filter('the_content', 'content_intercept');

function content_intercept($content) {
//how many characters to show from each post
$maxchars = "200";
$newcontent = ''.substr($content, 0, $maxchars).'...';
return $newcontent;
}

  • I’m not quite sure what you are trying to acheive. Could you explain in more detail what you want this filter to do.

    A read more link can be added using the following code

    global $id;
$more_link_text='read more>>';
$newcontent .= ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . "#more-$id\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>";
