  Hi,

  I am building carbonthebook.com using edda theme.
  I would like to replace the text of the “more” link to have a different one.
  I do not want to change the functionality or the styling, I would like just to
  change the text and replace the work “more” with something else.

  How can I do that?

  I thank you in advance for any help.
  Yorgos

  Hi there, you can add your own text for the inserted Read More tag as explained in our More Tag support page. Scroll down to Customize the “Read More” tag.

  Thanks, this is solving partially my issue.
  Besides the “more link” that is coming in the posts, there is the “continue reading” link that is coming with the theme (edda).
  Have a look at my front page.
  Do you know how I can replace the “continue reading” text?

  Thank you so much in advance

  We have to us some CSS trickery to change the “continue reading” text. You can go to Appearance > Customize > CSS, delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the following custom CSS and then edit the content string. It may require some adjustment to the -80px margin in order to center it, depending on the length of the text string.

  .more-link {
      visibility: hidden;
      color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
  }
  .more-link:after {
      content: "This is new link text";
      visibility: visible;
      color: #e0b551;
      margin-left: -80px;
  }
