    I’m usually pretty good at figuring out how to get themes to do things but this one has me stumped. How do I get the “Read More” text at the end of an excerpt to be a link to the full post?

    Read More link should link to full post already. Do you have a link so I can see what the problem is – where it links to rather than full post ?

    Hey eminozlem,
    I’ve got the problem, too:
    The “read more” text is not linking to the wrong post or page but it’s not linking anywhere at all!
    There’s no anchor-Tag or anything – it’s only text.
    Sorry, I cant offer a link right now…
    Greetings ??

    Sorry, I didn’t realize the Theme Author replied to this until now. Here ia a link to the press release blog post page: https://internationallandalliance.com/press-release/

    That is very interesting. What is that exactly ? Menu item that displays category ? A page that displays posts or ?
    I will try to reproduce it if I know where to look.

    Btw instead of hiding post_meta with CSS, you can simply turn them off in theme options

    The menu item for the “Press” page uses the category “press release” generated from Appearance > Menu > Categories.

    I used the CSS to remove the meta because I only want to remove it in particular areas of the site, but not all.

    Thank you for your help!

    Ok this is really weird. I dont even get “Read more >>” appended to the excerpt.

    Could you tell me your values for the following :
    Extent
    Limit excerpt by
    Excerpt Limit#count

    Under Common > Loop options

    Here is a screenshot of the settings: https://trishah.com/graphics/ss/ila_read_more_settings.jpg

    And FYI, in the past I have used some additional functions for displaying the “read more” but I checked my files and I didn’t use any of them with this install.

    Got it. You gotta open up bootstrap-ultimate/content.php and change the line -39

    eo_trim(strip_tags(get_the_excerpt()),$eo_options["exc_lim"]);
    to
    eo_trim(get_the_excerpt(),$eo_options["exc_lim"]);

    I dont know why I used strip_tags there, I have to reevaluate that decision, thanks for bringing it up
    . Marking as resolved let me know if you’ve further questions

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    Unfortunately, that does not give the “Read More” a link but removes the “Read More” and adds the meta information instead. See comparison here: https://trishah.com/graphics/ss/ila_read_more_problem.jpg
