Archertc: it looks like the cron job’s working like a charm! However, I haven’t tried restoring the website using the created backup yet… Which is the only proof of the pudding I guess…

But your not sure? Hahaha!

Sorry, I made a mess of that post. In short: the <!–more–> tag works, but the resulting “continue reading” link does not. And I’m afraid that is because of my child theme ??

I now have to dig deeper in (1) the WordPress magic and (2) the Blogolife magic (as that seems slightly different than the default WordPress themes…)

You think I should remove the confusing part of my last post? ??

VERY interesting… I do not have that box/field with pages, nor with posts!! :S

Page looks OK to me too (in Safari on Mac)

If style.css is the only file you have updated, make a copy of the CSS file (or just in case, make a copy of ALL your current Blogolife theme files, you never know…), remove and reinstall the Blogolife theme, create a child theme as per the WordPress Codex instructions (with folder and css-file with specific “import instructions”) and activate the child theme. It works like a charm!

However, if you go more into more complex child-theme things… you run into more complex issues ?? As I currently am ??

@victor Tihai: where can I find the “excerpt field”?

@ evermine77: the setting in [Settings] > [Reading] > [For each article in a feed, show] is only for (RSS) feeds, not for the home page. Inserting the <!–more–> tag in my post works for me, but you have to do it in the [Text] tab of the post editor. In the [Visual] tab of the post editor, there’s a button “Insert More Tag – Alt + Shift + T” (it’s between the “unlink” and “spell checker” buttons). Try that and let me know if it works.

However, for me, the <!–more–> tag makes the homepage show a summary and a “continue reading tag”. Yay! So far so good!

The “continue reading tag” link points to the post’s permalink, with an anchor (#more-5). In one of the default themes, this works fine… the anchor somehow gets inserted into the post by the WordPress “magic”. In the Blogolife theme however, when I click the link, the post cannot be found. Even worse, the post’s permalink WITHOUT the anchor doesn’t work either… It seems like the post has vanished.

I want to fix this WITHOUT using a plugin. So I’d rather change something in the (child) theme’s php files. Anyone out there that knows how to fix this? Note that the BlogoLife theme has a rather complex structure with Backend (be) and Frontend (fe) folders and php files… :S

PS. I LOVE the Blogolife theme!!!
PPS. Dang… I wanted to add my website’s URL to show you the problem. However, for the “live” website, I had to undo the excerpt change, so the site works. So I installed the Blogolife theme on another test site of mine… There it seems to WORK!!! So this seems to be an issue with my Blogolife CHILD theme that I have created… ?? Still, any tips, tricks and hints where to look will be gratefully received!!
PPPS. For what it’s worth: the “live” site with child theme where the <!–more–> tag doesn’t work, but where I now removed it is: https://www.projecticon.org. The test site is: https://www.vanthof.co

for me, it worked with saying “No” for Manual Backups and “Yes” for Compression ?? Even though I was testing this by creating a MANUAL backup ?? First cron-job backup will be done tonight…

Hey Denis,

I would suggest using the CSS “Attribute and Value Selectors” in your style.css file. Check out this very informative tutorial (https://w3schools.com/css/css_attribute_selectors.asp and https://w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_attselector_valuelist_space).

In your particular case, you could add the following to your style.css:

{
color:red;
}

Hope this helps!
