Joomla: How to Change Text of Read More Link

Method 3: How to Change the Read More Link to Remove the Article Title: Beez Template

The Beez template has been modified so the read more link includes the Article title. For example, instead of saying “Read More…,” the link says “Read More: The title of the Article.”

1. In order to fix this, you need to change three files:
   templatesbeezhtmlcom_contentfrontpagedefault_item.php
   templatesbeezhtmlcom_contentcategoryblog_item.php
   templatesbeezhtmlcom_contentsectionblog_item.php
2. In each file, find the following line: echo JText::sprintf(‘Read more’, $this->escape($this->item->title));
3. Change it to: echo JText::_(‘Read more…’);
4. Save and upload the three files to your web server.
5. View the Home page to test the Front Page Manager.
6. View a Category Blog Layout page to test the category blog change.
7. View a Section Blog Layout page to test the section blog change.
