1.25 hides the title of the post in the read more link

Hi Samuel,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Author doesn’t normally display the post title in the read more links besides the “screen reader text” which isn’t visible. However, the way the links are added has changed in v1.25 as you mentioned. Do you have a plugin or child theme that may be affecting the content of the more links? The way Author has been updated, it’s possible that it’s filtering the link after another function and overriding it.

Yes I have a plugin for that.

Maybe you should consider not doing that ??

Anyway you can mark this topic as resolved, I have fixed the issue myself overriding ct_author_filter_read_more_link() function.

Thanks.

No, this is a better way for the theme to handle the read more links. A plugin should assume the theme is editing the more link and use at least a priority of 11 on filters like “the_content_more_link”, “excerpt_more”, and “get_the_excerpt”. Author uses a default priority of 10 on each of these filter hooks which makes it easy to override ??
