edin theme remove link text

    Hi

    I haven’t been able to find this topic elsewhere, so hopefully I’m not duplicating my questions.

    I have the edin theme installed, which I think is a brilliant portfolio theme. I want to know if there’s any way to remove all the READ MORE links that appear below the post summaries. I’ve set the site up as a series of nested pages using grid and wide page layouts. It seems wrong to have the READ MORE links when there’s often nothing to read after the link. It ale seems redundant as it’s possible to hover and click on the image and title above the link text to open the full post.

    Is it possible to remove these links from all pages? I don’t have the CSS pack, just the standard installation.

    My site is here: The site is: http://basilimobilephotographs.wordpress.com

    A lesser concern is that when I try to add a widget menu to the third column in the dark grey footer area it always appears in the middle column. Is this a bug?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi basilimobile,

    I don’t believe without the css upgrade that there is a way to get rid of the READ MORE links. If you did it would be just a couple lines of code which I could help with to hide them.

    For the footer I think you want to have something in the left column and something in the right column, but nothing in the middle column is that right?

    If so I would just add a blank text widget to the middle column and this should cause things to be spaced the way you want.

    Hope that his helpful.

    Hi Sandy

    Thanks so much for getting back to me so soon.

    Firstly, the tip for the middle column world perfectly – thank you. I should’ve thought of trying that!

    As for the READ MORE links, it’s too bad. If the coding is simple, would I be able to check how it would affect the layout of the page/s by trying it in the CSS preview window?

    Otherwise, do you think the theme developer/s would consider making the link text optional or changing it to MORE or SEE MORE?

    Thanks again for your help with this.

    Hi basilimobile,

    It looks like you’re working with a different theme now so I’m not sure you need this. But you can preview the changes in the Customizer by using this code. I think it should work for you.

    .home .more-link {
  display: none;
 }

    You could always post the suggestion for the theme in the themes support forum at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/themes and they may add it as an option.

    Thanks.

    Hi again

    I haven’t changed themes, it’s just that when I wrote my initial message, I didn’t notice the drop-down list for choosing which site to discuss (this was my first forum request), so my other site was auto-added at the end of the message and I couldn’t edit the message.

    Anyway, your code works perfectly in edin when trying it out in the customizer. I need to think of the value of subscribing to the css upgrade for this.

    But I’ve sent a message to the link above as you suggested, so maybe they’ll make the change.

    Thanks again for all your help.

    Ah I see now. Yeah I clicked on that link this time not looking closely. Sorry about that.

    Glad the code worked. If that is the only customization you plan on doing, not sure it would be worth it, but you can customize a lot of other things like fonts to get a unique look which might be nice as well.

    Hopefully you hear from your other post in the themes section :-)

    Yeah, I hope so too.

    Sorry, but I have one last question. The code you posted above: is it good for the entire site or just the home page? I checked it again, and the read more links were visible on another page.

    I just limited it to the home page. If you want it to be everywhere you can just remove the
    .home
    From the very front. So this should do it site wide. 

    .more-link {
  display: none;
 }

    Let me know if that does it.

    Yeah, that did it – I really have to work on some coding skills.

    I hope the theme support people are as helpful as you’ve been. :)

    Cheers.

    Hi

    I have another question about link text on the edin theme. Does anyone know the CSS code to remove the underline decoration from hyperlinked body text?

    For example on this page of the blog I want to make the changes to:
    https://basilimobilephotographs.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbasilimobilephotographs.wordpress.com%2Fwritings%2F

    Hi basilimobile,

    I believe the code which would do that for you would be this.

    .entry-content a {
  text-decoration: none !important;
}

    Let me know if that does it for you.

    Hi basilimobile,

    I have the same concern as you.. did you end up buying the CSS upgrade to remove the “Read More” tag?
