INTERNET MARKETING

When creating a post in Wordpress and you click the 'insert more tag' so that on the main index page it only shows the first paragraph or so and then you get the link saying 'Read the rest of this entry »'

Do you know how to change the words of that link, so instead of saying 'Read the rest of this entry »' I want it to say 'click here for more details' or something to that effect.

How do you change that?

As described in the article above, unfortunately this is a theme change. It's also a per theme change. Without hacking the core of WP I'm not familiar with a way to make this a global change through all themes.

Thanks

Its a theme specific and you will need to edit your themes index.php (not the main Wordpress core index.php) - just replace the words that are there with your desired anchor text and save.

You will need to do the same for the archive.php.
