Use 'Read the Post" for outside link

  • Ben, I’m only a few hours in but really enjoying Tracks.

    Can READ THE POST be used to link to an outside page or post? Sometimes I want to direct users from my homepage to a post elsewhere on the web, without their having to click through to my post first.

    Tried adding a link to a READ MORE button, but no dice.

    If that’s an upgrade, I’ll buy it. Hats off to you for the free version regardless.

    Glad you like it!

    The blog is sourced with posts, and each excerpt on the blog needs to link to the post page, so I’m afraid the READ MORE link can’t be modified to link to an external source.

    That said, you could add a link into the excerpt text and tell people to click that, and then they wouldn’t need to visit the post.

    To add a link into the excerpt, check out this tutorial in the Tracks Support Center for editing post excerpts: https://www.competethemes.com/help/change-excerpt-length-tracks/. It covers two different ways you can add a link in a post excerpt on the blog.
