    I am trying to edit the test ‘Read the full article’ which appears when inserting the MORE link in posts.

    I have read the http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Template_Tags/the_content page and cannot find the actual text ‘Read the full article’ in any of my website files. I am using a Solostream theme and understand from reading other posts that the text may be hidden in there somewhere. I checked the solostream forum and that does not seem to be the answer.

    Where can I locate and edit this text please? I’m looking for the actual file to change the text (unless this is editable from WP Admin – in which case I’d fall over!)
    Example page on my site follows:
    http://www.algorithmbetting.com/

    Thanks

    have you checked the individual template files, such as index.php?

    functions.php is also a likely place for the definition of this text, particular if the theme is using ‘the_excerpt()’

    are you using the ‘more tag’ while writing your posts, or is this the automatic short form throught ‘the_excerpt()’?

    thanks for your reply. it is appreciated as I still cannot fathom this one.

    i’m using the ‘more tag’ which is a button on the post edit page (along with ‘code’, ‘lookup’, etc).

    ive checked the index and functions files. Is there a way of tracing this back through the files/definitions do you know? my single.php file includes ?php the_content(). but where is the definition the ‘the_content’?

    the home page is probably done by index.php;

    the link ‘Read the full article’ seems to be done by an independant function, not the the_content('Read the full article'); code.

    there is a limited a mount of theme files (in most sane themes at least) so it should be possible to find this text string.

    ok, got it. it was in index.php but i was looking in the main site index. i didnt know i should be and indeed there was another index file in my themes folder.

    thanks.
