Read More Link Not Showing Up

  • I am having trouble getting the Read More links to show up on my excerpted posts on my home page. I inserted the shortcode contained in the WP Show Posts right sidebar but it still does not show up.

    Do I have to insert the shortcode for every post.

    Alternatively is there some other plugin that can automatically insert read more on posts shown on the home page.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Let me try to address this. On the front page, you have excerpts of posts. The excerpts are put there by the WP Show Posts short code. You want Read More links or buttons on these excerpts, that would allow the viewer to read the full blog entry. Is that right?

    I also have blog excerpts on my front page (site not yet public so can’t show you). If you click on the title of an excerpt, it takes you to the full blog page for that category of post. Can you make this work, perhaps by styling the title so that it’s obviously a link? (Something like:

    .home h2.wp-show-posts-entry-title a { }

    Plus, if you go to:

    wp-admin > WP Show Posts > select a Post List & Edit > Content

    there are fields for “Read more text” and “Read more button class.” If you put a value in “Read more text,” such as “Read more,” I know a read more button appears in some places, I just can’t remember if it appears with the excerpts on the front page.

    Yes that is correct. Clicking on the title of the posts does take one to the full post so I guess I will have to rely on people clicking on the titles.

    Hi,

    Does your “Read more text” text field on the WPSP list setting have anything in it?

    If left empty, it won’t display anything. You’ll have to add text label to it for it to display.
