Hey Flynn and JD,

I'm trying to make Custom Read More text for excerpts using PHP but it doesn't seem to be working.

This is what my code looks like:

PHP Code:

<?php if ( !in_category('underground') ) { ?>...<p>Continue reading <a href="%permalink%" rel="nofollow">> %title% <</a></p><?php } ?>

I want it to show the continue reading part only if the post is NOT in that category.

The PHP I've added doesn't seem to be affecting anything, the text is still shown no matter what.

Is that how you're supposed to do it? Or does PHP not work for styling the read more (even though it says use HTML and PHP to style).

Thanks,

Adam

Make sure the category name is spelled exactly, case is sensitive. You can also use the ID, but it looks ok the way you have it.

The category is ok... I used the same php around a different object in my center column.

No php I use in the Custom Read More seems to be doing anything actually, now that I'm trying more things out.

I'll take a look when I get home in a couple hours

1) you mean ato->Configure EXCERPTS right?? The code works fine there however
2) you can not use it at ATo->"Read More" tag - that can not have php
3) your code has a couple extra <>'s
<?php if ( !in_category('underground') ) { ?>
...<p>Continue reading <a href="%permalink%" rel="nofollow">> %title% <</a></p>
<?php } ?>
make them single

Attached is a picture of where I'm typing it and nothing is happening.

Sorry if this is something dumb I'm doing, I can't seem to figure it out. I'm just kinda questioning if PHP works where I think it's supposed to.
