Continue Reading link
-
I have two blogs with a different theme on each. One of them, https://comeinsitdown.wordpress.com, has a twenty-twelve theme (I think). So when I click on a certain category, all the posts in it are displayed on the page. About 3 lines of text followed by Continue Reading link by default, per each post. I am quite happy with this setup.
However, my other blog, https://websaladbar.wordpress.com, has a Reddle Theme that originally didn’t even have a Menu Bar at the top so I built it. When I click on a category, the posts are displayed alright. However, to my dismay, the entire post is displayed, no matter how long, and the Continue Reading llnk is nowhere to be found.
How do I fix this? I want my Continue Reading link where it belongs, in the category display, by default like it appears in the Twenty Twelve theme. I however want it this way in the Reddle Theme.
I am aware of how to set up ‘Read more’ tag, but this isn’t what I’m looking for. I want the Continue Reading link to be set up at the end of three lines of each, across all my posts versus having to do this manually for each post.
Thank you
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,

The difference that you describe between how the category pages display on one theme vs. the other are due to design choices of the respective theme author(s). There is no setting which would allow you to change from full post to excerpt on category pages because these pages are automatically generated when categories are assigned to posts.
You could replace the auto-generated category pages with pages you create using customized display posts shortcode in a static page. For example,
[display-posts category="sayings" include_excerpt="true" posts_per_page="-1" include_date="true" order="ASC" orderby="title"]
will list every post title, with an excerpt added after the title, in the category “Sayings,” in alphabetical order, with the date appended to the end -
