Hello!
Is it possible to add a “Read More” link below the excerpt, just like i simulated in the image: https://www.arthurmustafa.com/docs/read-more-link.jpg ?
Im working on this site and i succedeed to customize this plugin the way i wanted but i just cant insert this link.

If someone will help me, this is the code that i`m using to make this plugin work (off course i have the original plugin allready activated):

‘<div id=”Noutati” class=”hiddencontent”>
<?php if (function_exists(‘yg_recentposts’)){ ?>

<?php
$parameters = array(
‘limit’ => 3, //Number of posts to show
‘excerpt’ => 160, //excerpt length (letters)
‘actcat’ => false, //get posts current category
‘cats’ => ‘4’, //Categories to get posts
‘cusfield’ => ‘thumbnail’, //custom field name of thumbnail image
‘w’ => 75, //width
‘h’ => 75, //height
‘firstimage’ => false, //get first image of post content
‘atimage’ => true, //get first attached image of post
‘defimage’ => ‘https://localhost/constantart/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/noutati-default.jpg’ //default thumbnail image
);
//print most recent posts
yg_recentposts($parameters);
?>

<?php } ?>
</div>’

I know it can be done easily, but i`m too tired to figure it out …

Thank you for your help!

Im sorry for duplicates, i posted in different sections because i didnt know where exactly from i will receive reply.

my site is not online, i`m developing this on a local server. but the plugin is fully functional, title is permalink, text is excerpt and image is thumbnail from custom field. but i really want to also have a “read more” link below the excerpt.

I sort of succeded (80%) in resolving this problem, by inserting a little piece of code:

'<p><a href="permalink">Read more »</a></p>'

and the text “Read more” appears below excerpt.
… but i still can`t call the permalink for each post excerpt.
Does anyone know the sollution to this, because it`s taking me too many hours.
Thanks!

yes, i have tried that and the link generated look like this:

https://localhost/constantart/<?php the_permalink() ?>

i have tried all sort of things. in fact, i am editing the plugin here, the plugin in embeded in theme and in the home page template i`m caling this plugin with a few lines of code.

this is how the plugin looks like:

<?php

Well, again … i did it!!!!!
I was just about to give up, and then i thought to just duplicate the title and put it below the excerpt, except that i copied only the link code:

'<p><a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '" style="display:block; color:#d2e5f3; font-size:10px; padding-top:2px;">Read more »</a></p>'

It was good timing, because i`m close to the deadline with this website.

Hope someone will find this post and think it is helpful.

Thanks champ. Helped me a bunch. It didn’t work for me straight up, I changed the permalink call out to this –

<div>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" style="display:block; color:#d2e5f3; font-size:10px; padding-top:2px;">Read more &raquo;</a></p></div>

But that may be due to running offline through Xampp.

High five.
