You've two options:

1) Use the read more quicktag: http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More

2) Open up sentence\includes\format-standard.php and replace:

if(avia_get_option('cat_layout') == "excerpt" && is_category())
				{
					the_excerpt();
				}
				else
				{
					the_content(__('Read more  &rarr;','avia_framework'));
				}

with:

if( ! is_single() )
				{
					the_excerpt();
				}
				else
				{
					the_content(__('Read more  &rarr;','avia_framework'));
				}

Hi

The code that you show me is not present on format-standard.php. I don't find it.

Are you sure? I checked it a second time and it's there. I'm working with the code of the latest version which is Sentence 1.4. If your text editor doesn't find this code try to search for smaller parts like:
```
the_excerpt();
```

No. This code is not present in the page. And there is no update on the dashboard so i supposed i have the last version.

Hi Matbaldy,

You'll need to download the most recent version of the theme from your Downloads on Themeforest. That code is not in an older version of the theme but is in 1.4 (the most recent). The dashboard for Wordpress won't alert you to new versions of the Sentence theme or provide for automatic updates but you can re-install the new version on top of the old in the same way you first installed the theme (either FTP or through wordpress admin).

Then you can follow the directions from Dude above.

Regards,

Devin

I bought Sentence for my other website and I cant seem to change the 'continue reading' into Dutch words.
I read the links above and although with every other theme I have had, I could change it.
I changed it for my other website which use Habitat, but cant seem to work it out on Sentence.

I can find the : the_content(__('Read more →','avia_framework')); on different places, but not the words continue reading, what is used.

Please help me
Thank you,
-Tam

Hi,

I also can't seem to find it so perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to change 'Read more' to read 'Continue reading'. Perhaps the auto-translation makes the words 'read more' to translate as continue reading.

Good luck!
