Never mind. I just added the code between the body and head tag and deleted it after Mastodon verified the rel=”me” status.

That’s unfortunate 🙁

Just to clarify: I added it the same way you showed me with the email icon but added the mastodon font awesome code (f4f6) and everything seems to work except the icon doesn’t show.

Also: hovering over it doesn’t change the color, which means that the icon turning white simply looks like its disappearing into the white circle (same with the mail icon).

Hey again,

I think I fixed it myself by simply adding

function modify_read_more_link() {
    return '<a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '"> </a>';
}
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'modify_read_more_link' );

into my child themes functions.php and just filling in a -space- where the modified text is supposed to go.

I’ll leave it here in case it is of use for someone else.
