Safely remove "Read More" link

Can you give us a URL of your site please

Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes.

Here is my URL: https://www.thorewik.com/blog

Ok, in short, you need to create a child theme as quote by esmi.

Then you will need to find the template file that contains the loop for the blog page and remove the read more link.

Ive looked into it and Ive found what looks like its in content.php. I have not tested this however so it would be good to install a fresh copy of your website on a sub folder or local host and try this before doing it on your own site.

Its an easy way to do it, i did it before but i lost only that edit when i upgraded the theme today.

Must be someone that knows how to do this in this theme.
Please get back to me ??

Found the solution:

Go into content.php and change the following:

<?php
    if ( is_singular() )
	the_content( __( 'Read more', 'arcade') );
    else
	the_excerpt(); <!--Change this one to the_content();-->
?>

Hi everyone,

I also use arcade basic and I would like to USE the more tag, but it’s not working. I tried to put it into the front page and in another sub page, but none is working. I tried to figure it out with the things said above and some other sources from the internet but I can’t seem to work it out.

Can someone help? (I am aware that it is a different problem, but since it seems like you figured out some things thorwik, I thought I’d just ask here)

To specify:
1) I’ve tried the wordpress tag (<!–more–>)
2) I’ve tried putting something into the content.php
3) I’ve tried putting something into the front page.php

Any Ideas what else to do?

I am having issues get the “read more” to work as well. It doesn’t work on ANY of my posts therefore my posts cant be read unless you go to “recent posts” and select it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hi Thorewik,

I have followed your instructions regarding the removing the read more tag but still seem to have an issue. I can visibly see that the read more tag set up with the theme has been removed because the text has been changed from read more to continue reading (which is what i previously had it customized as) but I am still unable to click on the post. Any suggestions ?

Thanks KB
