    My first blog is a sticky with simply two lines of text only. There is an automatic continue reading button that is not needed and I would like to know how I would remove it from this post. I have tried to insert a continue reading button on the next post and it will not insert. I would appreciate any help you can give me on these two items.

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

    Hi there,

    This following CSS should do the job to remove the unneeded continue reading button: 

    .featured-content .sticky .button-primary {
	display: none;
}

    I can’t help with the continue reading button for the next post, though. The theme code does not generate any style-able link, so there’s nothing I can do with the CSS part, unfortunately.

    We have the same problem. We cant get rid of the continue reading button on the front page, under the text-area.
    -We tried to copy the css code you have suggested, but nothing happens. ?? We are beginners with css and have no idea how to go further. Can U help?
    If this is impossible we would just like to change the text i the box.

    @liljedahlmail, is this the blog you’re working on?
    http://geneticae.com/

    I checked that site and I found you were able to hide the “Continue Reading” link in the area titled “Danmarks mest solgte DNA Helbredstest til private – Se alle de sygdomme vi tester for..” with this CSS:

    .home article p > a{ display:none; }

    Apparently, this is a feature of the Expound theme and cannot be removed. I contacted support and this is the message I received: “Even with only 2 lines of text, that button will appear on the blog page because a post needs the sharing buttons and post metadata (like tags, date, and category) to be complete. You do have the Custom Design upgrade though, so you could hide that Continue Reading button with some custom CSS code. We have a CSS forum with talented CSS volunteers if you need assistance with it:

    Also, they wrote: :The theme you are using, Expound, does have a built-in “Continue Reading ->” button built into the theme that you can see on the theme’s demo:

    Unfortunately, I tried to hide it with CSS code and it did not work. I ended up changing my theme to the Adelle theme which does not format the featured images but that’s ok because I place my photos at the beginning of my blog anyway. The rest of my blog looks exactly the same, so it was easy to change.

    I hope this helps you.
