Style Read More Button On Blog Page
5 replies · Started by Michelle on December 9, 2022
I am using a query loop on my blog page, with custom post excerpts. I added a snippet so the "Read More" buttons will show, but need to move them lower (they are too close to the last line of the excerpt). Additionally, I want to add a border as well. How do I achieve this?
Hi there,
if its a GB query loop block, and the text before the button is displayed using a Headline block.
Then select the Headline block and add some Bottom Margin to it.
let me know
The excerpt is a GB query loop block, and the excerpt before the Read More button is a Headline block, but when I add 20 px to the bottom margin, all it does is push the next post further down. I cannot see the Read More button on the editing page. I only see it when I publish the post. Odd.
I added a snippet so the “Read More” buttons will show
Is there a specific reason why you are using a snippet instead of a buttons block with dynamic properties?
Good question. I went back into my forum history and found that I added the snippet because I was using custom Excerpts in the post editor and the Read More Button wasn't showing up. Here was the link she sent:

The button block with dynamic was so much easier.
Glad to hear :)
