Hi,

I'm using the Altium theme at http://whazzat.org/wonder-rooms.html

When I put in a 'read more' horizontal rule in the post, it truncates the text ok. But I want the 'read more' link itself to be displayed where I insert it in the body of the post, so the user can click on it to go to the full article.

How do I do this?

TIA - Jeff.
Hello Jeff,

Here I have give you css code to fix this issue. Can you try put it in your current Joomla template and see if this issue is resolved?


#ezblog-body .blog-head, #ezblog-body .blog-option, #ezblog-body .blog-read .blog-text, #ezblog-body .blog-read .blog-taglist{

	padding-left: 0px;

}

#eblog-wrapper .blog-read{

	border:none !important;

}


Hope this will help.
Thanks.

Hello Jeff,

Unfortunately there's actually no way to display the read more directly at the location that you placed the read more break because when you insert those contents, they are actually paragraph texts and the read more link would actually appear below the paragraph.

Thanks Mark,

I switched to the 'Origami' theme, so as to include a 'Continue Reading' button.

The theme displays as I want it on the front page at http://whazzat.org/wonder-rooms.htm.

However, on the entry page at http://whazzat.org/wonder-rooms/entry/whazzat-1.html I get a border and a bunch of padding I do not want. How do I get rid of the border and padding on the entry page?

TIA - Jeff.

Hello Jeff,

When accessing http://whazzat.org/wonder-rooms.html , I only see 1 blog post there and upon clicking on the continue reading, I am being redirected to http://whazzat.org/wonder-rooms/entry/overcome-by-wonder.html and I do not see any continue reading padding / border in the entry page.

Am I missing anything here?

hmm...

The attached screen shot shows the borders and padding I see on the entry page at http://whazzat.org/wonder-rooms/entry/overcome-by-wonder.html

I've marked the borders/padding I want to get rid of.

TIA - Jeff.
