"Continue Reading" link text

[nancytimper]

I had customized the “Continue Reading” link on events for my customer some time ago to “More”, and it recently reverted. Site uses a Genesis theme. The child theme had code added to it’s functions.php file:

/** Customize Read More Text */
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'child_read_more_link' );
add_filter( 'get_the_content_more_link', 'child_read_more_link' );
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'child_read_more_link' );
function child_read_more_link() {
 
return '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" rel="nofollow">MORE</a>';
}

Do you have any idea why this is no longer working?

Hi Nancy. Thanks for your detailed question and system information.

Those are WordPress core filters, not filters from our plugins. Therefore, we wouldn’t be able to provide support for them — other than to suggest you might try adding a priority to each filter that’s not taking effect — such as add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'child_read_more_link', 30 );

And/Or, you might need to use remove_filter() before adding your filter.

I’d also like to point out that your System Information Report doesn’t show The Events Calendar or The Events Calendar PRO active on your site — which is odd since that’s where this information report comes from… Additionally, you’re using a considerably-outdated version of WordPress core.

Could you please make sure all your Modern Tribe plugins (and WordPress core) are at their latest versions?

• Downloads / Version Numbers
• TEC Automatic Updates
• or TEC Manual Updates
• WordPress core updates

Once you verify you’re on the latest versions, please test to see if the issue is still happening for you.

If it is, please follow our Testing for Conflicts Guide and see if that helps narrow down the cause of this.

If it doesn’t, please share your System Information (again). That will give me a lot of extra information to help diagnose the problem.

Let us know what you find out.

Thanks.

Nancy, I’m glad you’re enjoying using our plugins so much! Thanks for sharing that. 🙂

The Events Calendar plugin does not add the “continue reading” phrase anywhere so maybe you’re seeing that from your theme or one of your plugins.

 

You could choose to follow our Testing for Conflicts guide (link provided in my previous reply) and see if that helps with troubleshooting (narrowing down the cause of the issue).
