Put an image for Read More

[krazeek]

I am trying to put an image for my more tag, but I cannot find the line of code to edit this. I have tried a bunch of different files such as single.php, index.php, functions.php and so on.

Can anyone help?

It should be in your index file, what's the name of theme? post your site's link and I'll take a look.

Theme name is mantra I think.

add this to your styles.css file

.more-link {
background: url("http://i.imgur.com/ezHFe.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
display: block;
float: right;
height: 40px;
width: 100px;
margin: 20px 20px 0 0;
text-indent: -9999px;
}

Change the image to your own, as well as the height/width values to the new image.

This is what I got: http://i.imgur.com/SYhcp.png

I changed the height & width to the correct dimensions of the image. I must have done something wrong.

use 'custom more link complete' plugin

If you update theme, you won't need to repeat process of adding custom css again.

Thank you cvrle77, works perfectly

No wonder people complain about slow sites, they use plugins for the simplest tasks:

.more-link {
background: url("http://wrz-tv.com/dl-button.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
height: 57px;
padding: 0px;
width: 198px;
display: block;
text-indent: -9999px;
float: right;
}

result: http://i.imgur.com/zkgep.png

Now it seems to do nothing. I'm adding it at the bottom of my style.css. Is it working for you?

 

[RT]

Yep, working fine now. Make sure you clear your browser cache to see it.
