Entries on category page

  • Hi,

    I have this category page: where I’ve linked posts to categories (category = writing in this case).

    For the first post (On a roll), the first few lines show up on the category page and then it says “continue reading”, which takes it to the actual content page.

    For the post at the bottom (the great conjunctions), it doesn’t have that ‘continue reading’ link. If I add more text, it automatically adds that ‘continue reading’ link. However, if I just have a couple of lines, it doesn’t do that.

    Is there any way I can have that ‘continue reading’ link regardless of how many lines I have?

    Thanks.

  • The “Continue Reading” linked text only comes when there’s indeed something to continue reading. If the post is so short that the entire post is displayed in the excerpt and there’s nothing to continue reading, then there’s no “Continue Reading” link ??

    That is WordPress’ default behavior, and that seems very logical to me.

    If you want to override this default behavior automatically, you’ll need to use a plugin like the Advanced Excerpts plugin, or write custom code yourself.

    Good luck!
