## વર્ણન

Try it out on a free dummy site here => [https://demo.tastewp.com/read-more-excerpt-link](https://demo.tastewp.com/read-more-excerpt-link)

When WordPress makes an excerpt from your post content, it crops the content and
adds an ellipsis […] to the end. This plugin changes the ellipsis to a **Read More**
link to the full post content.

You can change the **Read More** link text to anything you wish from the **Read 
More Excerpt** submenu on the WordPress **Settings** menu.

Also from the **Read More Excerpt** submenu, you can specify the excerpt word length(
WordPress defaults to 55 words).

Additionally, you can force the **Read More** link to show even when an excerpt 
is entered or when a read more tag is added to the content. This is turned on from
the **Read More Excerpt** submenu with the **Show More Frequently** checkbox.

The **Read More** link uses the class **read-more-link**, so you can stylize the
link any way you wish.

## એફએક્યુ (FAQ)

### How do I change the “Read More” link text to something else?

In the WordPress **Settings** menu, select the **Read More Excerpt** submenu, where
you can modify the default **Read More** text link.

### How do I change the length of the excerpt?

WordPress defaults to an excerpt length of 55 words. You can change this from the
WordPress **Settings** menu, select the **Read More Excerpt** submenu where you 
can modify the excerpt word length.

### Why isn’t “Read More” showing on all pages?

Normally, WordPress doesn’t show a read more ellipsis if an excerpt is entered as
part of the post. Also, WordPress doesn’t show the read more ellipsis if a read 
more tag is placed in the content before the set excerpt legnth (defaults to 55 
words). To change this, from the WordPress **Settings** menu, select the **Read 
More Excerpt** submenu where you can active the **Show More Frequently** option.
This will force the **Read More** to show whenever there’s post content.

### How can I stylize the “Read More” link?

Here’s a suggestion:

    ```
    a.read-more-link {
        font-size: 0.9em;
        text-transform: uppercase;
        display: inline-block;
        white-space: nowrap;
    }
    a.read-more-link:before {
        content: "(";
    }
    a.read-more-link:after {
        content: ")";
    }
    ```

### Why isn’t the “Read More” showing at all?

There’s also some over-zealous themes that re-write complete sections of WordPress
code for no good reason. Elegant Themes is a good example of a theme company that
makes highly bloated themes that re-write much of the WordPress normal operation.
Basically, some themes totally ignore the perfectly working WordPress auto-excerpt
and create their own. When themes do this, the **Read More Excerpt** plugin is ignored
as the theme no longer calls the standard WordPress excerpt functions (which **Read
More Excerpt** is hooked into). Other than making modifications to your theme, there’s
nothing any plugin can do when themes don’t use the WordPress hooks and hard-code
new functionality instead.

### It displays “Read More” but without a link?

This is rare, but can happen when a theme is not strictly calling the get_the_excerpt()
function but doing something with the result (like stripping HTML tags). If you 
know how to create a child of your template and make slight modifications to that
child you can easily correct this. Start by looking at the theme’s archive.php file
and following any get_template_part() calls from there. It’s best to not make changes
directly to an off the shelf theme, as updates will override any changes you make.
Creating a child theme is a better method of making changes to an off the shelf 
theme.

Perfect plugin if you just need to change the length of excerpts or the “read more”
text. Simple, easy to use, nothing superfluous.

This plugin is easy to use. I had a compatibility issue with my theme and the developer
emailed me back right away with suggestions on how to fix the issue. It worked seamlessly.
I recommend this for every Wordpress site to get rid of the … and add a “Read More”
link. You can check it out here at Jonnikolaicarlson.com Nice job Tim.
