[Resolved] Read More Button for Handcrafted Excerpts

[Robert]

I’m wondering how I might get a Read More Button to show for handcrafted excerpts. The one built into the theme only shows on excerpts which are automatically generated. Thank you!

Hi there,

This should help: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-to-display-read-more-when-using-the-excerpt-field/#post-297608

That worked great to get the Read more text to appear but how would I style this to appear like the button for excerpts which are automatically generated?

You would just need to add the button class.

Find this line: <a href="%2$s">Read more</a>

And change it to this: <p><a class="button" href="%2$s">Read more</a></p>

Awesome! And sorry for one last question. What do I change so it’s positioned like the button associated with automatically generated excerpts – under the excerpt and left justified? I’ll get there… I promise. 🙂

[Tom]

Ahh right – I just adjusted the instructions above 🙂

[Robert]

Got it! Thank you so much.

[Tom]

You’re welcome! 🙂
