Hiding the “Read more” text only when there is no more text to read?

Hi @shdgfshfgwdfg,

Thank you for the kind words! There are a few methods of hiding the read more links when the excerpts don’t require them – but require adding some custom code into your themes functions.php file or into an MU plugin.

If you are comfortable adding custom code to your website, I would be more than happy to provide you a code snippet you can use to add to your site which will achieve this.

Let us know!

Thank you, that’s a generous offer. I’ve managed to work around it by using the HTML snippets plugin, disabling the “Read more”, and if there is actually more to read, putting it in a blog post instead and creating a manual link to it at the end of the Announcement. It works pretty well. If you’re interested the timeline is here: https://ckrat.uk/timeline

Thanks again ??

No problem at all @shdgfshfgwdfg,

Thanks so much for letting us know and your timeline is looking great! The no icons add-on is really working well on your site.

Have a great week!

I have the same issue. Could you proved a code snippet for me?

Hi @audunmb,

Are you looking to just hide the read more links when the content of the announcement isn’t long enough to need a single, interior page?

We can look at what might be needed for this and provide some code.

Yes. I’d like to hide the Read more-link if the text is shorter than the excerpt length (as there is nothing more to read).
Actually, I thought that was the default, but now it shows for every post.

No reply here?
I think the issue is that I had to use a custom Read more-link (https://www.wp-timelineexpress.com/documentation/not-announcements-read-link/) as the plugin isn’t translated to Norwegian, and then a “Read more” is shown on all announcements.
