Remove "Read More" link and just show full content of posts

  • I’m using the Polar Lite theme from ThemeInProgress. I’ve tried to reach out to them for help, but while I’m waiting I thought I would post here.

    I’ve spent several hours researching this and looking at the code for the theme, and cannot figure out how to get rid of the “Read More” link and just show posts in their entirety on the blog page. I can’t find any excerpt, the_content, or continueReading references in the code editor for any page.

    Here is a link to the blog on the website I’m working on: https://lindabarneswriting.com/?page_id=55

    If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you so much.

    I’ve also enabled every single setting for Allowing Comments, and yet there is no option showing on the page for users to leave comments. This is a separate problem, but if anyone has any insight, that would be wonderful.

  • Hello,
    in order to show the full content without the Read More button, you can try to put core/post-formats/standard.php to your child folder. Then open the page and find:

    if ((is_home()) || (is_category()) || (is_page() )):
	the_excerpt();

    change it to:

    if ((is_home()) || (is_category()) || (is_page() )):
	the_content();

    Thank you for your reply. However, I’m not sure I follow. I’ve looked and don’t see anything called “post-formats” in my wordpress folders. I don’t see a standard.php file either. Maybe I’m not looking in the right place?

    Is there a category.php? or something like that which references a category, if so, look in that file for the same code, it might not look exactly the same, but it will most likely say the_excerpt(), and thats what needs to be changed.

    Do you see folder “core”, then folder “post-formats”? It should be there.
