Reverting to Read More button default behavior in a theme that makes it fancy

  • I’m currently using a theme I purchased from ThemeForest that I’m heavily modifying. I really like the theme, but I hate how it formats the Read More button.

    According to Designing the More Tag, the default behavior is to append a simple link to the end of the excerpt:

    Duis est mauris, ornare in egestas id, auctor eget est. Quisque rutrum euismod neque, quis lacinia leo auctor vitae. Morbi porttitor eleifend augue, eget ultricies odio elementum ac. Sed dignissim felis ut tellus tristique fringilla. Nulla sed cursus dui. Praesent non volutpat nulla. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos. Read More.

    I can’t figure out how to revert the read more behavior of my theme to the standard behavior.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • I’m sorry but as you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from the theme’s vendors.

    So, let’s just say I’m using Twenty Ten. Twenty Ten modifies the read more link to behave as follows:

    Say what? I had no idea, so I decided I had to give this a try for 2010. The result?

    Continue reading →

    (the formatting here makes this a little hard to tell the difference… it’s bumping the “continue reading” link down two lines)

    As seen in the WYSIWYRG post in the Twenty Ten demo. How would I get that to behave in the default way of simply appending the link to the end of the excerpt like:

    Say what? I had no idea, so I decided I had to give this a try for 2010. The result? Continue reading

    (here, the continue reading link comes immediately after the text, as part of the same paragraph, on the same line)

    You could probably do that using pure CSS.
