Read more-links

Could you do me a big favor? Since multiple people have reported this issue I’ve changed how this works. But before I push it out as an update, I want to make sure it works for those having issues.

The themes I’ve been testing on haven’t had issues with this latest change so it’s difficult to know if this fix will work for you.

Download this version of the plugin and let me know if your shortcodes work the way you expected: https://github.com/billerickson/display-posts-shortcode/archive/fix-excerpts.zip

Once you’ve confirmed it works properly, try adding excerpt_length="5" excerpt_more=" Custom More Text" to the shortcode to make sure those parameters still work.

I have downloaded the zip and the read more-links work with this version – great! But when I add the parameters they do nothing to the excerpts or change the wording to custom text – see backend here and frontend here.

If you would like to test on the specific theme I have had the issue with it is called Responsive and is available from the www.remarpro.com Theme Directory

Thanks, I’m looking into issues related to the recent excerpt changes now. Hopefully I’ll have this fixed early next week!

More information regarding this change can be found here: https://github.com/billerickson/display-posts-shortcode/issues/110

Please read through that and let me know if you like how the new features are implemented. I want to make sure these new parameters are implemented the way most users expect them to work because once they start being used I won’t want to change their default behavior.
