Recent Posts "Read More"

Hello,

How can we add a read more function to the recent posts on the home page? We would like to keep the content blocks a consistent height. So when the post data is longer than the setting a read more function will show us just as it does in the three column featured area. Your help with this will be greatly appreciated.

 

Hello,

Go to front-page.php present in your theme directory and add the code given below

Code:

  <a class="read_more" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read More...</a>

check image for reference







Thanks & Regards

Thank you that worked. One additional question so that they are consistent can we make the read more exactly like the read more in the featured section with the image to the left?

 

Hello,

Paste this code in Custom CSS
Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS

Code:

 a.read_more{
background: url(ENTER YOUR IMAGE ADDRESS HERE) bottom center no-repeat;
padding: 7px 0;
padding-left: 106px;
}

Thanks & Regards
