Missing continue reading button

Hi. I’m sorry to post a topic after another but I’ve got a very bad problem. Full posts were displayed in the homepage instead of showing just a paragraph with the “continue reading” button.

There was a user with my exact issue and he was told to add a code in the functions.php file. I did it and it basically worked but… Posts are now showing without the “continue reading” button. But the biggest problem is that every time I open an article to fully read it, I can see only a paragraph. The rest of the content is lost.

Please let me know hot to solve the problem. Thank you.

One last thing. If this can help, I tried to change various themes and until now only one seems to work: Twenty Twenty-One. Continue reading button is showed and the article is complete when I click on it to fully read it.

Hi,

i have check and it’s work like before just add this to your function.php
```
function falang_translate_post_content($content){
    if ( preg_match( '//', $content, $matches ) ) {
        if ( has_block( 'more', $content ) ) {
            // Remove the core/more block delimiters. They will be left over after $content is split up.
            $content = preg_replace( '//', '', $content );
        }

        $_post = get_post();

        $output     = '';

        $content = explode( $matches[0], $content, 2 );

        if ( ! empty( $matches[1] ) ) {
            $more_link_text = strip_tags( wp_kses_no_null( trim( $matches[1] ) ) );
        }

        $output = $content[0];

        if ( count( $content ) > 1 ) {
            if ( ! empty( $more_link_text ) ) {
                $output .= apply_filters( 'the_content_more_link', ' <a>ID}\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>", $more_link_text );
            }
        }
        $output = force_balance_tags( $output );
        return $output;

    }
    return $content;
}

add_filter('falang_translate_post_content','falang_translate_post_content');
```

Hi Stéphane and thank you very much for your support. I’m sorry to bother but I couldn’t even try if the code works because when I save the change I see this error:

syntax error, unexpected 'falang_translate_post_content' (T_STRING), expecting ')'

I just don’t get it. The code I took from the old topic doesn’t return any errors.

Again, if this can help, I noticed that the problem is this piece of code:
```
if ( ! empty( $more_link_text ) ) {
                $output .= apply_filters( 'the_content_more_link', ' <a>ID}\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>", $more_link_text );
```
Conversely, the old one works fine and doesn’t return any errors:
```
if ( ! empty( $more_link_text ) ) {
                $output .= apply_filters( 'the_content_more_link', ' <a href="' . get_permalink( $_post ) . "#more-{$_post->ID}\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>", $more_link_text );
```

    if ( preg_match( '//', $content, $matches ) ) {
        if ( has_block( 'more', $content ) ) {
            // Remove the core/more block delimiters. They will be left over after $content is split up.

        }

        $output = $content[0];

                $output .= apply_filters( 'the_content_more_link', ' <a href="' . get_permalink( $_post ) . "#more-{$_post->ID}\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>", $more_link_text );
            }
        }
        $output = force_balance_tags( $output );
        return $output;

    return $content;
}
add_filter('falang_translate_post_content','falang_translate_post_content');

Hi Stéphane. You posted the old code, the one that doesn’t return any errors. I already tried it as I wrote before but it doesn’t solve my problem. The “continue reading” button is missing and the translated articles only show one paragraph insted of the full text…

I wanted to try the new one, but as I told you it returns that error. What should I do now?

Hi,

I have found the problem , it’s when the gutenberg more read text is empty (default case)
in this case nothing is displayed.
I give you a solution soon.
