Livemesh Grid three dots

  • At the end of the excerpts is three dots. Is there a way to change that to “read more”?
    AND
    Is there a way to make that an active link to the post?

    The dots should be visible only if you do not explicitly specify the excerpt for the custom post type you are capturing via grid. You try adding an excerpt to the custom post and see if things look better.

    We already have two links for each grid item that link to the post. I wasn’t sure users would need another one. Anyway you can add one by customizing the widget –

    https://siteorigin.com/docs/widgets-bundle/getting-started/extending-existing-widgets/#heading-changing-the-template-file

    You will need to extend the widget definition in <plugin folder>/includes/widgets/lsow-portfolio-widget/default.php file, line number 148 and adding the below code – 

    <span class="lsow-read-more-link">
    <a class="lsow-button lsow-default" href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>">
        <?php echo esc_html__('Read More', 'cosmic'); ?>
    </a>
</span>

    Hope this helps.

    That looks interesting, but I don’t want to re-engineer your plug in. Perhaps in a future release you could add this as a featured setting. Seems like it would be easy enough, and many plugins of this type include such a feature.
