  Hi,

  I have a problem with the read ‘more’ on my home page.
  I really don’t like .
  Is there a way to block that php code with CSS?
  I’m using the Gateway theme.

  Best regards,
  Jenny

  Hey there,

  Yes! Just add this to your custom CSS:

  .wf-active .more-link {
      display: none;
  }

  If that doesn’t work, let me know :)

  Hi, this removes the read more link on the home page only.

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

  Hi,
  Thank you for the help but the same result as before. The more link is away but the content(text) is not showing completely. Maybe it’s not possible to change.

  Does anybody know how i can change the word ‘more’ in the link to something else? (‘Lees verder’)

  Hi there,

  Mooie website :)

  Your theme displays an excerpt by default. You can try to override this by adding a “read more tag” add the very bottom of your posts.

  To add a read more tag see the image on this page:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/2/

  And if you want to hide the read more links use the code provided by thesacredpath:

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

  Veel succes!

  Met vriendelijke groet,

  Michael

  @michaelvandenberg is correct, the theme shows excerpts only and it is set by the WordPress software at 55 word. and the bulk of the content formatting is stripped out.

  You can try copying out all the text from the Text tab in the post editor and putting it into the Excerpt module that should show up below the text area in the editor. You would need to do that for every post.

  This behavior is not something that can be changed with CSS. It would require editing of the theme php script files, and we cannot do that at WordPress.com.

  @Michael, Dank je :)
  Nog druk aan vullen en bijwerken.

  The problem is this thema does not provide the excerpt funtion. So i think it’s not possible to change, i have to live with it :)

  Can anybody help me with one more thing? How can i change the text ‘more’ to a ducht text ‘Lees verder’?

  Hi nagelstudiogasselte

  This should work for you :)

  .more-link {
  	visibility: hidden;
  }
  
  .more-link:before {
  	content: "Lees verder";
  	visibility: visible;
  }
