How to remove #more tag in WordPress

By default WordPress post listing will embed with #more tag. If you do not like the #more tag like me, you can remove the #more tag using wordpress filter. In case you do not know what is #more tag, here’s the explanation. Whenever user click on the “read more” link at the post listing, it will redirect user to the single post page and auto focus on the anchor tag. I dun find this very useful but caused of confusion to my readers.

To remove the #more in WordPress listing, follow the steps below:-

Login to your wordpress
Go to Appearance -> Editor
Click on functions.php at the right sidebar

Copy and paste the code below, and click “Update File”

function remove_more_jump_link($link) {
	$offset = strpos($link, '#more-');
	if ($offset) {
		$end = strpos($link, '"',$offset);
	}
	if ($end) {
		$link = substr_replace($link, '', $offset, $end-$offset);
	}
	return $link;
}

add_filter('the_content_more_link', 'remove_more_jump_link');

Now the #more jump at the post listing should have removed

What is WP-Cache?
WP-Cache is an extremely efficient WordPress page caching system to make your site much faster and responsive. It works by caching Worpress pages and storing them in a static file for serving future requests directly from the file rather than loading and compiling the whole PHP code and then building the page from the database. WP-Cache allows to serve hundred of times more pages per second, and to reduce the response time from several tenths of seconds to less than a millisecond. (From: WP-Cache homepage)

How to have WP-Cache with Gzip compression enable?
The default WP-Cache plugin do not support gzip compression. If you would like to turn on WP-Cache with gzip compression you need to do some hacking. Here are the steps:-

1st:
Download the latest version of WP-Cache

2nd:
Turn off gzip in the Options.

3rd:
Edit: wp-cache-phase1.php
Add this line:
if ( extension_loaded(’zlib’) ) ob_start(’ob_gzhandler’);

Before this:
foreach ($meta->headers as $header) {
header($header);

4th:
Edit: /wp-content/advanced-cache.php

Add:
if ( extension_loaded(’zlib’) ) ob_start(’ob_gzhandler’);

Before this:
foreach ($meta->headers as $header) {

That’s it! and now your site should be fast enough!
