    I would like to add a button right under the text in each column that says “READ MORE”.

    Would love your help. Thank you!

    Try this:

    [display-posts include_excerpt=”true” excerpt_more=”READ MORE” excerpt_more_link=”true”]

    That didn’t work at all…?

    I am using this:
    [display-posts image_size=”medium” wrapper=”div” wrapper_class=”display-posts-listing grid” meta_key=”_thumbnail_id” posts_per_page=”3″]

    and I am trying to add buttons under the text that say READ MORE.

    I tried adding your suggested code on its own, and also tried adding it to my code:
    [display-posts image_size=”medium” wrapper=”div” wrapper_class=”display-posts-listing grid” meta_key=”_thumbnail_id” posts_per_page=”3″ include_excerpt=”true” excerpt_more=”READ MORE” excerpt_more_link=”true”]

    to no avail.

    The excerpt_more parameter will only work if there’s an excerpt included. You would need to add include_excerpt=”true” to the shortcode.

    Unfortunately this plugin does not have support for a read more link without an excerpt provided.

    If you are comfortable with code, you could use the output filter to extend Display Posts and add this functionality to your site.
