Continue reading button

How do I replace the “Continue reading” button with just a plain “Continue Reading” text link?

There is an old post on this subject, but it does not give a clear answer. I presume I have to use some custom CSS – what should it be?

Add this to Custom CSS
```
.entry-content .block-button.more-link {

background: none;

box-shadow: none;

border: none;

color: #123456;

text-shadow: none;

}
```

I solved my problem by using a plugin called Advanced Excerpt

You can alternately add this to child-theme’s functions.php to override the existing function which outputs continue reading link with block-button. You can then style it using .custom-continue-reading class.
```
<?php

function graphene_continue_reading_link() {

global $graphene_in_slider;

if (!is_page() && !$graphene_in_slider) {

$more_link_text = __( 'Continue reading &raquo;', 'graphene' );

return '</p><p><a class="custom-continue-reading" href="'.get_permalink().'">'.$more_link_text.'</a>';

}

}
```
