Learn with this tutorial how to modify the text “Continue reading” or “Read more” depending on the category in any Genesis Framework child theme using code.
Of all the possible ways to customize a Genesis template, in most cases we focus only on the aesthetic part.
However, it is worth making small changes to the theme texts so that they too are aligned with the brand.

And you know what would be even better? Use different texts depending on the category the entries belong to.
To do this you just need to use a Genesis filter.
