HOW TO REMOVE AUTOMATIC READ MORE FROM BLOGGER STATIC PAGES

One problem I contended heavily with in one of the blog I created for a friend recently was that of having the automatic READ MORE/CONTINUE READING OPTION showing up on the static pages of the blog.

This took me days before I could actually get a solution to the problem. I know many blogger has or have had this problem with their blogs. If you are experiencing this mess, these are the few steps I took to fix the problem. Follow the steps carefully to get the read more removed from your static pages

Log in to your blogger dash board

Go to template and have a back up of your template

Select edit Html and  select Expand Widget Templates

Find this line of code from your template editor using CTRL + F

     <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if></p>

Found the code above?.If yes replace the code above with 

   <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'><data:post.body/></b:if>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if></p>

Preview your template and if there is no problem save your template

Now we are done with the first part,but the read more is yet to go

To finally remove the read more from static pages.Still with the expand template widget still selected,find the below code

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb(&quot;summary<data:post.id/>&quot;);</script>
<span class='rmlink' style='float:right'><a expr:href='data:post.url'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir8-kWZvvSSew6l0WyVm4Xsjcc7vsc3fA3Bfi2RZ9t8Tl_0YfJ_HK9NhSszIn3mACyxDg0VypSO49qt25_It2AsMdtzFhoBTBK9bivCI218L0-75MNPidsyHsA2kIfVjtF7COjqAPONUs/' style='border-style:none;'/></a></span>
</b:if>

  Now add this

  <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>

  before the above code  and the close with this ,code </b:if>

  So your final code looks like this

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb(&quot;summary<data:post.id/>&quot;);</script>
<span class='rmlink' style='float:right'><a expr:href='data:post.url'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir8-kWZvvSSew6l0WyVm4Xsjcc7vsc3fA3Bfi2RZ9t8Tl_0YfJ_HK9NhSszIn3mACyxDg0VypSO49qt25_It2AsMdtzFhoBTBK9bivCI218L0-75MNPidsyHsA2kIfVjtF7COjqAPONUs/' style='border-style:none;'/></a></span>
</b:if>

</b:if>
