Adding Your Own Read More Link
Continuing with the topic of custom read more links, there are times when you may want to use <?php the_content();?> in your theme’s template file in conjunction with the <!--more--> tag in your posts to create custom post teasers. But you want the “read more” link to appear somewhere other than immediately after the teaser.
Just edit the relevant theme template file and replace:
<?php the_content();?>
with:
<?php the_content('', false,'');?>
This will supress even the default “read more” link.
Next, move to the point in your template file where you want your custom “read more ” link to be displayed and add:
<a class="more-link" href="<?php the_permalink();?>#more-<?php echo $post->ID;?>"><?php _e('Continue reading );the_title();?></a>
Simple!
