Disable Excerpt Content: More Links Button Disappears?

    Hi,

    I’m currently using the Responsy theme with the ” Disable Excerpt Content In The Blog Page” option checked, as I prefer to decide and control where the index page creates a “more link”.

    More importantly, I also use this option because SEO plugins can hook into the “more link” and customise the output text (instead of it just saying “Read More/Continue Reading”, which has absolutely no SEO value).

    However, with this option checked, I’ve just noticed that the nice green “continue reading” button backgrounds have disappeared!

    Would it be possible to fix it so that the same options selected (e.g. button colour), also appear when this option is disabled?

    If it helps, here’s a link to the WP action hook for the more link:

    Thanks in advance. And keep up the great work!

    Cheers,

    Zain

    Theme Settings > Style > External Stylesheet/JavaScript

    <script>
$(function()
{
$( '.post .more-link' ).addClass( 'btn btn-success' );
});
</script>

    Hi Mehmet,

    Thanks for the jQuery function – I forgot it was possible to do it that way (nice quick solution). I’ve now added it and included appropriate script tags as well as making sure this jQuery function was in no-conflict mode*.

    * i.e. I’m using jQuery(function ($) rather than $(function(), as it’s safer.

    I just thought I’d mention this issue as it’s also about “managing expectations”. As a theme user, I expected that the buttons would be the same, regardless of whether the blog index is using the excerpt or the more link. It would be nice to see this in a future version without needing to tweak the theme – as not everyone knows how to do this! (thankfully, I do :) ).

    Anyway… I just remembered – I think I saw that jQuery for the “Enable Contact Form 7 Styling” option (Theme setting/Contact) isn’t in no-conflict mode. Could that also be tweaked for a future version?

    Keep up the great work, and thanks again for the fix… it works wonderfully!

    Cheers,

    Zain
