Add ‘Read more’ link/button after Event Info

Hi,

I may add this in a future version.
For now you can use the Code Snippets plugin and add this snippet. Or add this in file functions of your (child) theme.

function event_excerpt_more($more) {
	global $post;
	if( is_page('534') ) {
		return ' <a class="button" href="'.get_permalink($post->ID).'">Read more</a>';
	}
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'event_excerpt_more');

Change page ID into your page ID.

Thank you. Although the snippet above didn’t work for me for some reason, it got me on the right track and the following modified code did work:

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
    global $post;
    if (!empty(apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() ))) {
        return $output . '<a class="button" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read more</a>';
    }
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

Hi @feisar

I may add the read more link in next version.

Guido

Thank you. That would be great.

I’ve since modified my own custom snippet for my purposes, to only show the Read More link if the Custom Summary is not empty:

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
    global $post;
    if (!empty(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'event-summary', true))) {
        return $output . '<a class="button" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read more</a>';
    } else {
        return $output;
    }
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

Hi,

I will not add extra conditional logic. You can simply activate a more info link underneath the event content. With a (shortcode) attribute to disable it per event list.
