# Continue reading link error

 * I have built a site using the Clear Styles 1.2 theme. I chose the theme because
   it is clean and clear.
 * However, upon getting the site together I have found that there is a … continue
   reading … function that is broken. Eg when a reader clicks on a post to go to
   read it in full or make a comment it brings up a non-functioning …continue reading…
 * This is the code from functions.php – what changes should I make?
 *     ```
       function clearstyle_excerpt_length($length) {
           return 40;
       }
   
       add_filter('excerpt_length', 'clearstyle_excerpt_length');
   
       function clearstyle_continue_reading_link() {
           return ' <a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . __('Continue reading', 'clearstyle') . '</a>';
       }
   
       function clearstyle_auto_excerpt_more($more) {
           return ' …' . clearstyle_continue_reading_link();
       }
   
       add_filter('excerpt_more', 'clearstyle_auto_excerpt_more');
   
       function clearstyle_custom_excerpt_more($output) {
           if (has_excerpt() && !is_attachment()) {
               $output .= clearstyle_continue_reading_link();
           }
           return $output;
       }
   
       add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'clearstyle_custom_excerpt_more');
       ```
   
 * Or am I looking in the wrong place?

 * OK, so I have done a little more sleuthing. The same thing happens when I use
   different themes … the default Twenty Ten or Atahualpa.
 * Basically I get a continue reading link (it’s different in each theme) which 
   goes nowhere. I have tried Firefox, IE and Chrome – no joy.
 * These are the fixes that I have tried:
 * 1. Re-uploaded the core WP files (from a fresh download)
    2. Deactivated all 
   of my plugins
 * Neither of these have worked.
 * Any ideas? At all?

 * -try deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to narrow down and possibly fix the
   problem. If the problem goes away, activate them individually to find the culprit.

 * For me, the problem was caused by Andy Beard’s plugin called “Nofollow Those 
   Dupes”.
