Is there a simple way I can change the wording of the "Read more" link in the teasers? I'd like to change it to "Read more …" -- but I need to know where to find it first. Thanks!

Hi,

If you search drupal.org for changing read more or something similar, you'll find lots of use stuff. I had a look through, and the cleanest suggestion is the String Overrides module (http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides). What about you give that a try and let me know if it works?

I'm presuming you'll be okay with installing your own Drupal module?

Thank you! The String Overrides module worked beautifully.

How About to Remove?
How about to remove the "Read More" prompt from the front page? I've tried the .node-read-more {display: none;} trick and it didn't work.

Have you tried .node_read_more {display: none;} ?

It's underscore on my test site, not hyphens.

Also, you may need to clear your site cache for the css to be picked up.

Underscores don't work,
Underscores don't work, either. It did remove my byline from single nodes, though. Could it be the $links variable? According to the Drupal API on node.tpl.php: $links: Themed links like "Read more", "Add new comment", etc. output from theme_links().

There could be any number of things preventing this method working. It's hard to say without having a close look. Sorry.

Removing $links may remove other things as well, which may not be what you want.
