WordPress is an open-source program perfect for creating blogs and websites, used by millions of users. Its popularity is essentially due to the intuitive interface that allows you to use ready-made templates and themes. Wordpress is used to create blogs hosted on WordPress.com servers and blogs or websites hosted on private servers and downloaded from WordPress.org (in Italian from https://www.wpitaly.it). To write or edit these templates, a computer or smartphone is used. Today most bloggers publish only an excerpt of the post and, through a link that says "Read on", the reader is able, if interested, to view the full article. WordPress has made everything easier with a button that allows you to customize the insertion of the HTML code, directly in the post excerpt. This article will allow you to learn how to add the "Read on" tag in WordPress.
