Remove read more from blog page - show entire post.

I want the entire post to show without the readmore. I would think you could change this in blog.php or loop.php. I am using a child them and have copied them both to my child theme directory.

We only want to use read more for extremely long posts, and can use the excerpt feature of WP when we want to. How do we change the default to show the entire post?

Read More also appears in two places. When we do use it we don't need both instances. How can we fix this?

Hello,

Go to functions.php present in your theme directory and add the code given below

Code:

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 200;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

Check image for reference



Increase "return" value as per your requirements.

That made the excerpt longer, but there is still a Read More link at the bottom, even though it is showing all the text and we don't need to read more. We don't just want to make the excerpt longer, we don't want to use excerpts at all, and we don't need a Read More link if the the entire text is showing.

 

Hello,

Unfortunately there isn't a way to remove the read more link for the particular text length of post from the blog pages unless you custom code something up. Sorry.

But you can permanently remove this with the custom css code from the blog page,
to achieve this paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

 .page-content .content-bar .post .post_content a.read-more {
display: none;
}
