explauramay Sep 13, 2015 · 8:40 pm #2265 Hey guys, me again.
I’m now using your theme on ANOTHER website (before: http://www.explaura.net; now additionally http://www.inmemorytribute.com). However I note that if I am showing ‘full post content’ and insert a ‘more’ quicktag manually, no ‘read more’ (etc) appears; and, if I limit a post to an excerpt of X words, there’s still no tag. I have tried all settings under Ultra Theme Settings>Blog. Ideally I would be able to show an excerpt of X words and have hte ‘read more’ tag appear. Halllp 🙂
Thanks!

Great to hear from you 🙂
When setting Blog Archive Content to Excerpt, no Continue Reading tag should display, just the excerpt, so that’s correct. Of course, there is a problem if the “more” quicktag isn’t showing with Full Content selected.
Excerpt with a Continue reading button is something I can workup as a child theme for you. I’ll do that either later tonight or tomorrow.
I would ideally like to solve the “more” quicktag issue you’re seeing. Any chance you could create a new user account for me, sending the details to [email protected]. I’ll take a really quick look around. You can delete the account when I’m done.
Thanks 🙂
Andrew Misplon Puro Sep 13, 2015 · 8:54 pm #2267 Whoops, incorrect email address above. Have corrected it now. Thanks 🙂

Download the ZIP file your desktop.
Install from Appearance > Themes > Add New > Activate.
If Appearance > Theme Settings > Archive Post Content is set to Post Excerpt your theme will now display a Continue reading button.
Activating a child theme will cause menu location settings to reset. Just redo those after activating.

Andrew Misplon Puro Oct 3, 2015 · 10:16 pm #2486 Unfortunately, this hasn’t yet been worked into an update. It’s definitely a popular request I see so I’m keen to work it into an update soon. For now, the child theme is required.
