  Hello, I am using the Zuki theme, and it doesn’t seem to have a “read more” option on wither the front page or the category pages. I’d like to change this.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, Zuki does not use a “Read More” button or link on excerpted posts and that is not something that can be added via CSS. CSS is a styling document used by browsers to style and place the HTML elements of a web site, and cannot be used to add functionality, such as a read more button.

  So what are my options? I saw another blog with read more links using the Zuki theme. I’d have to do some more research and get you the link.

  What if I put the categories on pages? Will it show featured pictures etc?

  As thesacredpath obeserved this is not a CSS editing question. If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, then you will have to insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  Can’t you just add the Read More button via the visual editor? That will make it break, but won’t give you a button if the theme does not allow it.

  Yeah…

  I just tried again, and the read more won’t give a button or link

  Okay so you are back to this:

  Sorry this didn’t work out for you. It is possible to get a refund and purchase another premium theme though. WordPress.com provides a 30-day refund on all upgrades except Domain Registrations, Domain Renewals, and Guided Transfers.

  Note: It takes from 1 – 2 weeks for the refund to be received.

  Provided you are logged in under the same username account that purchased the upgrade, you can cancel and request a refund from your dashboard > Store > My Upgrades.

  I really like Zuki. Could I ask the theme developers to fix this issue?
