Links not working in wordpress posts, why?

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by crumblepie, Oct 4, 2011.

    Please have a look at my wordpress post here. The "Read More" text is supposed to be a link. I am having the same problem for all posts. Links are not showing up properly.

    Although the link displays properly in wp-admin, the blog itself is outputting it as normal text rather than a link.

    I can't figure out why, any ideas???? :confused::(

    go to your wp-admin>Appearance>editor>single.php (it's single.php most of the time) and see if the Read more is wrapped by something like <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read More</a>

    Hope this helps =)

    Hey buddy, you just need to insert tag where you want your read more link to be displayed. you can find this option just above the content box in wordpress, while posting a blog..

    Thanks for the quick response Yuuko & seogeek, I appreciate it... but my problem remains. The Read More isn't a "read more" - what I mean is, it's a normal link and I just put the text anchor as Read More.

    Strange, it should be working at least when you insert MORE tag from post editing window. Are you sure you are inserting the mroe tag from the Post Editing Window (Wp-Admin)? There is an option where you can ADD the MORE link. It is called "Insert More tag". You can insert it in any place in your post when you are in editing mode.

    Just press that option or press "Alt+Shift+T".

    Another suggestion is - try with another wordpress theme....and see if that too behave the same way.

    I fixed it, thanks for all your support guys and gals :) Thank you so much. I got it fixed by adding <div class="the_content"><?php the_content(); ?></div> rather than the code for the excerpt. It wasn't a Read More issue.. that was just the text anchor I used which led to a lot of confusion in this thread.. sorry about that! I changed the Reads Mores to View Tutorials now lol. Reps on the way, thanks once again! Ta!
