In a teaser of a content type, how do you change the text for the "read more" link button?

Override the node output by placing this code in your theme's template.php file (replacing with YourThemeName, YourContentType and NewReadMoreText with your theme name and desired read more text).

Source

<?php
// Preprocess variables for node.tpl.php.
function YourThemeName_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
  // Let's get that read more link out of the generated links variable!
  unset($variables['content']['links']['node']['#links']['node-readmore']);

  // Now let's put it back as it's own variable! So it's actually versatile!
  if ($variables['type'] == 'YourContentType') {
  $variables['newreadmore'] = t('<span class="YourContentTypereadmore"> <a href="!title">NewReadMoreText</a> </span>',
      array('!title' => $variables['node_url'],)
   );
  } else {
      $variables['newreadmore'] = t('<span class="newreadmore"> <a href="!title">Read More </a> </span>',
      array('!title' => $variables['node_url'],)
   );
  }

  $variables['title_attributes_array']['class'][] = 'node-title';
}
?>

  • That was the basic fix. What I did was just go to my www dir and grep -r "Read more" and for me it was located in modules/node/node.module Then I made a copy of the file and changed it in there to "Load more" for my needs: if ($view_mode == 'teaser') { $node_title_stripped = strip_tags($node->title); $links['node-readmore'] = array( 'title' => t('Load more about @title', array('@title' => $node_title_stripped)), 'href' => 'node/' . $node->nid, 'html' => TRUE, 'attributes' => array('rel' => 'tag', 'title' => $node_title_stripped), ); } – seizethecarp Feb 23 '18 at 21:43
