Missing continue reading button

Hi Fabykennedy, I am still having this issue and saw that the code provided by the team is working for your site. Could you please me the full code you inserted in your function.php?

This is the code provided to me and it does not show any read more button instead shows full posts.

Thanks in advance.

function falang_translate_post_content($content){
    if ( preg_match( '/<!--more(.*?)?-->/', $content, $matches ) ) {
        if ( has_block( 'more', $content ) ) {
            // Remove the core/more block delimiters. They will be left over after $content is split up.
            $content = preg_replace( '/<!-- \/?wp:more(.*?) -->/', '', $content );
        }

        $_post = get_post();

        $output     = '';

        $content = explode( $matches[0], $content, 2 );

        if ( ! empty( $matches[1] ) ) {
            $more_link_text = strip_tags( wp_kses_no_null( trim( $matches[1] ) ) );
        }

        $output = $content[0];

        if ( count( $content ) > 1 ) {
            if ( ! empty( $more_link_text ) ) {
                $output .= apply_filters( 'the_content_more_link', ' <a href="' . get_permalink( $_post ) . "#more-{$_post->ID}\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>", $more_link_text );
            }
        }
        $output = force_balance_tags( $output );
        return $output;

    }
    return $content;

Thank you both for providing the code but none of them work for me. There is no error in Code provided by Sbouey but still read more button is not appering.

And code provided by @fabykennedy is showing php error. Could you please provide me the exact code using CODE tag.

I am confused how come codes provided by both of you are different for the same purpose, there should be one correct code to fix specific issues. I am hopeless now.

i have put my response in the other thread

sorry to disturb you @fabykennedy , with the code provided by you I am getting PHP error again. It shows an error for one line which I have pasted below in bold.

‘<span aria-label=”%1$s”>%2$s</span>’,

Could you please paste the exact code into the code box?

Hi, no problem!

I actually tried to use the CODE block but it didn’t work for some reason… I’m gonna try again. Here’s the code that worked for me:

//            // Remove the core/more block delimiters. They will be left over after $content is split up.
//            $content = preg_replace( '/<!-- \/?wp:more(.*?) -->/', '', $content );
//        }
