ROCKETTHEME IS CLOSING ON JUNE 30, 2025. As a thank-you to our community, enjoy 50% off all themes with the promo code THANKYOU before we shut down.
Read our Farewell Blog Post for more details.
The read more that J! uses is only in specific locations. Whenever you have an article that has the <hr class='read-more'> (you can see it at the bottom of the editor) it uses the upper part as an intro text to the article. The intro part will be shown in categorie blog, frontpage and the likes. At the spot of the <hr> J! will automaticly make a read more button.
I am actually using the read more link in JCE, very simple to use and very effective. Every time I clicked on the read more in Joomla itself, it took me back to the control panel.
