Read More Tag Opens in New Window

Yes its possible with jQuery

May i know your theme name and link

Thanks! It is Pressplay and the link is https://www.plumpub.com/kaimen

are you using the “read more” tag on an excerpt or based on <!--more-->?

There are filters that will let you modify these rather than relying on jQuery.

Hi Steve,
Yes, just using the regular old read more tag…Thanks!

what does that mean? How are you getting a read more tag?

are you using the_excerpt() or inserting <!–more–> in your content or manually adding a link?

Sorry. I am inserting <!–more–> in the content.

Add something like this to your theme’s functions.php file

function modify_read_more_link() {
    return '<a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '" target=_blank>Your Read More Link Text</a>';
}
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'modify_read_more_link' );

If you are not working in a child theme, it might be a good idea to create one first.

Thank you so much. I will try it and let you know.
Debbie
