This plugin is retired. It is no longer maintained and its WordPress.org listing\nis being closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Nothing breaks in the meantime: the plugin keeps working on the sites that have it,\nand deactivating it is safe. It stores no per-post data and changes nothing\npermanently, so the moment you deactivate it your theme prints its own read more\nlinks again, exactly as it did before.<\/p>\n\n The idea worth keeping from this plugin is the accessible read more link<\/strong>: a link\nthat says what it points to, instead of repeating \"Read more\" hundreds of times\nacross your archives. That gives screen readers a meaningful description and search\nengines a meaningful anchor text. A server-side version of it, built on the native\n excerpt_more and The button conversion itself is not<\/strong> carried over, on purpose:<\/p>\n\n Doing it on the server, in far fewer lines, fixes both.<\/p>\n\n Do you need one-on-one help, priority troubleshooting, or a custom feature, integration, or tweak built specifically for your site?

If you already have\nit, see \"What to do\" above.<\/p>\n\n\n No. The plugin only acts while it is active, and it does not store anything in your\nposts. Deactivate it and your theme's read more links are back on the next page load.<\/p><\/dd>\n There is nothing to move. This plugin's settings (button text, ARIA label, which\narchives it ran on) describe a feature Visibility does not have, so they would not\nmean anything there. Visibility's read more option, when it lands, is a single\nsetting you pick once.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Deactivating this plugin is enough, and your site is left exactly as it would be\nwithout it. Visibility is a suggestion for the SEO side, not a replacement for the\nbuttons.<\/p><\/dd>\n Not meaningfully. The duplicate read more link on archive pages is a small hygiene\nissue, not a ranking problem: search engines deduplicate URLs, so a second link to\nthe same post does not waste crawl budget the way this plugin's description claimed.\nWhat is genuinely worth fixing is the repetitive \"Read more\" anchor text, and that is\nthe part moving to Visibility.<\/p><\/dd>\n It solved a small problem in the wrong layer, and keeping a plugin on the directory\nmeans keeping it audited, tested against every WordPress release and supported. That\neffort is better spent on the plugins that do the job properly.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nWhat to do<\/h4>\n\n
