Twenty Ten – Editing 'continue reading' tag

it is in functions.php of twenty ten

btw:
the Twenty Ten theme as the dafault theme of wp3 will be overwritten with the next update of wp; all modifications in twenty ten will be lost.
instead of editing twenty ten directly, it is therefore advised to create a child theme: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

Thanks alchymyth – I am just creating my first child theme – so, after I have my style.css – should I then copy functions.php and paste it into the child theme folder and make the change there?

Also there seems to be a lot of code about ‘continue reading’ in functions.php – where exactly can I change the wording? Thanks.

should I then copy functions.php and paste it into the child theme folder and make the change there?

due to the nature of functions.php, directly copying/pasting the full functions.php of the parent theme into the child theme would get you a lot of errors;

however, there is a possible way of changing the wording of the ‘continue reading’ link:

– just for the records:
this would be the code in functions.php of the parent theme to edit the wording:

function twentyten_continue_reading_link() {
	return ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) . '</a>';
}

but i forgot to mention, that the wording is also in loop.php:
<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>

however, the above linked solution should take care of changing the ‘continue reading’ text sitewide.

Cheers alchymyth – I will check out that link.

Find,

<div class="entry-content">
				<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading<span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
				<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
			</div><!-- .entry-content -->

Change the “Continue reading” to say whatever you want….. it’s in the loop.php file.
