Category Page in WordPress

  • This is the category page on my website, specifically for articles related to Vatican City. On this page, you can see a list of all the articles I’ve chosen for this category.
    I want visitors to get a glimpse of each article without accessing the full content right away. Instead, I plan to show a part of each article and include a “READ MORE” button for those interested in the full details.
    How can I set this up?

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

  • Edit Vatican City category and use the Excerpt box and replace the_content() with the_excerpt() within the loop.

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post">
      <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
      <div class="excerpt"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
      <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="read-more">READ MORE</a>
   </div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

    Add custom CSS in your theme stylesheet to style the read more button.

    .read-more {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-top: 10px;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    background-color: #3498db;
    color: #fff;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    Your category page will show post excerpts with a READ MORE button.
