Change Read More Link from Post to Page

  • Hello,

    I would like to know if there is a way to modify the Read More link on a post so that it goes to a page instead of the single post?

    Look at the examples here:

    In addition to changing the text, you can also change the link behind it.

    Thanks for your response but I had already checked out the page you suggested and did not see any information about redirecting/changing where the link points to. I don’t want to change the text or style of the link. Do you know if there is any reliable information about changing the link so it will point to a page and not a single post?

    See where it says “the_permalink()”? That’s outputting (if that’s a word) the link, so you’d replace that with some code to generate the link you want. However, what you want to do doesn’t click with me. What are you trying to accomplish? What problem are you trying to solve with such a link?

    Thanks again, Steve. I am using the more link for a custom post type, testimonials. I would like to read more link for the testimonials to redirect to a page where all of the testimonials are listed, and not go to the single post.

    So you’d change “the_permalink()” to a link to your testimonials archive page (probably /testimonials/).

    Yes, that is what I would like to do.
