Read more link

Hi there,

How are you outputting those posts? Are you using a plugin?

Hey Tom

Using Toolset, on our old theme though (PenNews) using Toolset it didn't do this. Which is what led me to think its to do with GP?

Well, GP does add a read more link using the core GP filter. I suppose you could try removing it?:

remove_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'generate_excerpt_more' );

Hey Tom

Hmm that didn't seem to do the trick. Any other ideas?

Should I ask Toolset or is this nothing to do with them really?

Maybe try this:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    remove_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'generate_excerpt_more' );
} );

Hi Tom,

Hmm no luck with that either. Could it be because its a custom post type? Just guessing here.

Hmm, worth giving this a shot too..

remove_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'generate_blog_excerpt_more', 15 );
remove_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'generate_blog_content_more', 15 );

Ideally, it would be best to apply this to those posts only, but I'm not sure if Toolset allows for that?

That worked! :)

This does apply across the site but is that really a bad thing? If we want to display the read more link I can just manually code this to display after the excerpt.

Or is there some disadvantage I am unaware of with this being applied across the entire site?

Cheers!

Not at all - if you don't need the read more link elsewhere, this code is safe for you to use :)
