I can't remove my 'Read More' button!

  • – I have my setting set to ‘full text’, not summary.
    – my ‘read more link’ setting is unchecked
    – my excerpt length is set to 9999 words
    – where it says filter: , both the_excerpt() and the_content() boxes are checked
    – none of the ‘disable on:’ boxes are checked.

    I can see my whole post just fine, the problem is at the bottom of the post, you cannot see the ‘leave a reply’ section without clicking on ‘read more’. I want the ‘ leave a reply section to be there without having to click anything.

    Someone suggested in another thread to insert “#content .readmore { display:none !important; }” into the .php code, which I did. It didn’t do anything to the ‘read more’ button, it just put that exact text on the bottom of my homepage, and now it won’t go away, even though I have deleted it from the code! So I need help with 2 things:

    1. How to get rid of this text from my homepage
    2. How to get rid of my ‘read more’ button and show the ‘leave a reply’ section.

    Please try to respond very simply – I am brand new to wordpress!

    Thank you

  • I am not sure what is your requirement but try this

    <style type="text/css">
#content .readmore { display:none !important; }
</style>

    I don’t see that in my code. Here is my ‘content.php’:

    <?php
/**
 * @package nucleare
 */
?>

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
	<?php
		if ( '' != get_the_post_thumbnail() ) {
			echo '<figure class="entry-featuredImg"><a href="' .get_permalink(). '">';
			the_post_thumbnail('nucleare-normal-post');
			echo '<figcaption><p><i class="fa fa-file-text"></i></p></figcaption></a></figure>';
		}
	?>
	<header class="entry-header">
		<?php the_title( sprintf( '<h1 class="entry-title"><a href="%s" rel="bookmark">', esc_url( get_permalink() ) ), '</a></h1>' ); ?>
		<?php if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
		<div class="entry-meta smallPart">
			<?php nucleare_posted_on(); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
		<?php endif; ?>
	</header><!-- .entry-header -->

	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div><!-- .entry-summary -->

	<footer class="entry-footer">
		<div class="entry-bottom smallPart">
			<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'nucleare' ), '<span class="edit-link floatLeft"><i class="fa fa-wrench spaceRight"></i>', '</span>' ); ?>
                   	<div class="readMoreLink">
				<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><?php _e('Read More', 'nucleare') ?><i class="fa spaceLeft fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>
			</div>
		</div>
	</footer><!-- .entry-footer -->
</article><!-- #post-## -->

    Is anyone able to help with this issue??

    Add this line on your style.css file

    .readMoreLink{ display:none; }

    But recommended way is create a child theme and put this code
