How to Remove the WordPress “Read More” Jump

Does it annoy you that when readers click, “read more,” it jumps down to that same point in the post?

In most cases, this is a solid way of doing things, but there may be times that it either doesn’t work well with your layout, or you just don’t like it.

Maybe I’m just a weird old guy, but the “read more” jump can be confusing sometimes.

If you want to remove the “read more” jump, here’s how:

Remove the “Read More” Jump

Drop this in your functions.php

function wdc_no_more_jumping($post) {
return '<a href="'.get_permalink($post->ID).'" class="read-more">'.'Continue Reading'.'</a>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'wdc_no_more_jumping');

Easy!
