"How do I disable or hide the Joomla ‘Read more' link?" This is a very popular one in the IRC channel. It's axed every week, and every time I see it the reaction is the same:

• Sigh
• Roll Eyes
• Shake head
• Shite face

This question is a sure sign of being a "I dunt reed" syndrome carrier. Some people don't rtfm, while others simple dunt reed.

Click Sequence #1: Site -> Global Configuration -> Content -> Read More Link.

Show/Hide Read More link

Ok, I know most of you could give to shites about further reading once you get the answer to your question, but here is a little more info about the "Read more" link situation.

• If you set the "Read More Link" to "Hide" under Global Configuration" you can still overwrite this setting by changing the "Read More" parameter under a Blog - Content Section, Blog - Content Category, or Front page menu item.
• It only appears if you use the "Main Text (optional)" field when inputting content. So if you decide to only use the "Intro Text (required) field, you will never ever see the "Read more" link, and wont even need to hide it under the "Global Configuration".
