    When I put <!–more–> into a post It comes up with “Read the rest of this entry ?” Is there a way I can change what it says?

    Sounds like you are using the default theme. Just make a copy of that theme first so the next update won’t wipe out your changes.

    If you are using the default theme do this:

    1. Make a copy of the wp-content/themes/default folder. Call it wp-content/themes/blog-name.

    2. Edit the wp-content/themes/blog-name/style.css and modify the second line to read

    Theme Name: WordPress Default My Copy

    3. Activate the new copy via https://your-blog-url-here/wp-admin/themes.php

    4. Now edit the file wp-content/themes/blog-name/index.php and modify line 20 from

    <div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
</div>

    to

    <div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read more whatever you want it to say'); ?>
</div>

    And then you’re done. Naturally, step 0 is back up your files first…
