  Hi everyone,

  I am using forever theme for my online magazine and there are a few things that I can’t fix and couldn’t find a solution.

  1. ‘Continue reading’ text does not appear on image/gallery post, but works fine with standard

  2. Can I change ‘Continue reading’ font style/text? I don’t want italics.

  3. Can I disable the text of ‘this gallery contains’ on the homepage?

  Thank you so much and have a great weekend!

  Samantha

  Hi Samantha,

  1. If there is a lot of text accompanying an image in an image post, or a gallery in a gallery post, an excerpt of that text will be shown on the main blog page and category/tags/archives pages, and include a “Continue reading link. If there is less text than the length set in WordPress, then there will not be a Continue reading link.

  2. This will change the continue reading back to non-italic text.

  .more-link {
  font-style: normal;
  }

  3. This will hide “the gallery contains…” on the home page. It will still appear on archives, categories and tags pages.

  .home .entry-summary em {
      display: none;
  }

  Thank you so much.

  Issue 2 and 3 has been fixed with those code :)

  However for the first issue, there is a problem with not add the ‘more tag’ in the text. It causes that my content will lose all the paragraph setting. Is there a way to fix this issue?

  Thanks again for your help.

  HTML code (formatting) is stripped out of automatically created excerpts by the WordPress software, but you can make your own excerpts with the formatting code in them.

  Switch to the “Text” tab in the editor, select the text you want to use, which will include the HTML formatting (make sure and copy the ending fomatting tag with will look similar to this and then below the text area you should find an “excerpt” module where you can paste that code. If the excerpt module isn’t showing, go to the screen options tab at upper right in the editor page and activate it. For more on excerpts, see this support document: http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/
