Manually Adding A WordPress ‘Read More’ Link
The front page of your WordPress blog shows summaries of your posts and you don’t want to change that. So switching to use the WordPress more tag isn’t an option for you.
But you do want to display a “Read more” link. Here’s how…
- Edit the index.php file in your theme.
- Look for
<?php the_excerpt();?> - Immediately after, add
<span class="readmore"><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?> - Read more</a></span>
