Title: Missing continue reading button Last modified: July 20, 2022 --- # Missing continue reading button * Resolved [fabykennedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabykennedy/) * (@fabykennedy) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-continue-reading-button-2/) * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-option-not-appearing-in-translated-posts/) 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.

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.
