I have my blog homepage set up with ‘Regular’ setting, showing featured image and an excerpt. Can I please display the “Read more” button on every post? The button won’t show unless the post letter count exceeds the preset excerpt letter count. Let’s say I have a video post where I only have inserted a video and a few words accompanying it. “Read more” button won’t show on homepage for such post.
Is there a css command to make “Read more” button show on all posts please?Hi,
You can edit the post and go to visual tab and click the more button in the content editor. But you should not use the read more tab and automatic excerpt at the same time.
ThanksThanks for the fast reply. I am not sure we are on the same page here though. I am referring to the literal “Read more” button which is displayed on the home page and archives. On some posts it doesn’t show. You can see an example here: http://www.ateliernovotny.com/category/teaching/lessons/
Thanks.I know I keep nudging you about this and I’m sorry but I don’t really have an answer and would love having this solved.
I rephrase my question one last time in case I was not clear enough: Is it please possible to have “Read more” button shown on all posts? Currently if the content of a post is shorter than excerpt limit it won’t show the button in blog and archives. Example here: http://www.ateliernovotny.com/tag/video/
Hi, Unfortunately, the automatic excerpt and read more buttons do not work together. You should turn off the automatic excerpt functionality and add the read more button for each post. If you do not have too much content to logically read in, it would not make sense to print the read more button. I hope you can understand this situation.
Thanks for your understanding.I see and I do understand, thanks for clearing that up for me. Now that I know how it works I’ll just have to work around it.
One more question regarding excerpts. I set my excerpt length to 20 words and it works as it should on blog but not on archives. It’s got no effect on archives/grid. The default excerpt length seems to be in effect on grid archives. Once again the same link applies here http://www.ateliernovotny.com/tag/video/. Not that big of a deal but please do look if you have a minute.
Thanks.
Hi, currently excerpt length works only for blog regular layout, we will add another option so you can control the list/grid blog layout excerpt length.
Thanks for the feedback.
