[Resolved] tag archive has no read more label

[Aaron]

My goal is to have a read more button on my tag archive page showing only title, featured image, tags and read more. I tried various settings on customizer>layout>blog, but no link is present.

Hi there,

What kind of layout are you after?

Can you link me to the main blog/posts page?

[Aaron]

See the products section on https://plgd-trading.com/products/coffee/
I’d like to have the same post layout on https://plgd-trading.com/product/tag/14-canephora/

Hi there,

the layout on the Tag Archive page is not the default GP layout – how has this been achieved ?

[Aaron]

It’s just some SCSS, you might block the resource https://plgd-trading.com/app/themes/generatepress-plgd/assets/build/css/style.css?id=66c7f87400343b30c4aa&ver=0b3d433adf53335a9fcc280009dd76e8 to see the original layout

//Tag Archives
.archive.tag .inside-article, .archive.tag .inside-article > * {
	position: relative;
}

.archive.tag .inside-article {
  height: 400px;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column-reverse;
  text-align: center;

  .entry-meta, .entry-header {
    background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
  }

  .entry-meta {
    order: 0;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0 20px 20px 20px;
  }

  .entry-header {
    order: 1;
    padding: 20px 20px 5px 20px;
  }

  a, .tags-links{
    color: var(--base-3);
  }

  a:hover {
      color: var(--accent);
  }

  .entry-summary {
    margin: 0;
  }

  .post-image {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;

    & img {
      height: 100%;
      width: 100%;
      object-fit: cover;
    }
  }
}

So there has been no editing of the templates or any other PHP functions that interfere with it? Thats the single post or archive templates.

[Aaron]

I checked my child theme functions.php and disabled it for testing purposes, with no effect. The template which is used is the unmodified themes/generatepress/archive.php

[Aaron]

Things I tried to track it down:
disabled all plugins except generate blocks pro and gp premium.
I switched theme to generate press main theme.

I noticed that no excerpt – which I don’t need anyway – is generated with a word count greater than 0.

[David]

If in the Customizer > Layout > Blog there must be something in the Read more label field – does that have content ?

[Aaron]

Yes I typed „View“ in there.

[David]

Odd – any chance i can get a temporary admin access so i can take a closer look?

[Aaron]

Sure, just provide me an e-mail address.

[David]

you can use:

support at generatepress.com

[Aaron]

You should have gotten an e-mail.

[David]

Ok so they are a Custom Post type named Products. When you registered the CPT did you include excerpt in the supports array ?

As GP filters the excerpt to display the read more.
