  I am having trouble getting the Read More to show up on my posts. It works just fine on the Home Page. It does not work consistently within a category of posts. I have researched this online, but the solutions don’t quite apply to my situation.

  For example: On my site – https://ellencsauer.wordpress.com/ – the home page shows Read More links. BUT within the category of Connected at our Cores – https://ellencsauer.wordpress.com/category/c12-blog/c41-connected-at-our-cores/ – the first three articles show a Read More link and the last one does not. That last article is cut off, i.e. the full article does not show. One has to click on the title to open it to see the full article.

  Another example: The post category From Mother to Mentor – https://ellencsauer.wordpress.com/category/c12-blog/from-mother-to-mentor/ – has six posts within it. Five posts are cut off and one has a read more link.

  Any suggestions welcome.

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

  Hi Ellen,

  I believe the Category page was designed in this way, but please contact the theme author regarding this. They may have a workaround. Since you purchased a Premium Theme you can receive direct support from the author:

  Cheers!

  Thanks, Grace. I see that you were editing one of my posts – Honoring Ilene and Frida. Just a note to you if it matters…the Read More link issue doesn’t seem to be a problem within my Gallery. It is just showing up in the Writing categories. Does this matter or should I still connect with the theme author?

  No, that’s not the issue. I believe it’s the design of theme. Please contact the theme author.

  My apologies, Grace, but the link you provided brings me to the forums which is great, but I have scanned them all and my particular Read More question does not seem to be answered. Is there a way then to connect directly with the author?

  That is the Collective Premium Theme forum and only the theme author replies to those.
