Hi Neilgee,
To start with, let me first tell you that, I am totally new to websites and everything else, I don't ever know how and where to insert codes. Now my problem is that, I am creating my website with the help of a tutorial, and I am using the Sydney theme, before I decided to install the Sydney child plugin, I saw the read more tag was working, but not anymore after this child theme. I would love to have it back for text and videos also. Could you please help me. Thank you.
