• Hello,

    I’d like to embed a Read More button onto my static front page. I have successfully embedded html widgets into the same post, however none of the html, css or shortcodes I have copied and pasted have caused a Read More button to display so far. Neither have any plugins.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi @philosophical,

    The read more button is mainly useful for posts (rather than pages) where you display a list (archive) of posts with a summary and visitors can decide which one they want to read more of.

    On your page you could do this using an ‘accordion’ where you get a title bar and when you click on it it expands to show the whole content. Search the plugins on www.ads-software.com for ideas.

    Another way would be to use one of the page builders to insert a post archive into your page. I’ve used Beaver Builder for this and it’s really easy.

    Let me know if that helps

    Just create a link and style it like a button. Make the link href link to the page you want it to go to:

    
    <a class="read-more-btn" href="/page-url">Read More ? </a>
    
    and css:
    
    .read-more-btn {     
        background-color: #fff;
        border-color: #ccc;
        color: #333;
        -moz-user-select: none;
        background-image: none;
        border: 1px solid transparent;
        border-radius: 4px;
        cursor: pointer;
        display: inline-block;
        font-size: 14px;
        font-weight: 400;
        line-height: 1.42857;
        margin-bottom: 0;
        padding: 6px 12px;
        text-align: center;
        touch-action: manipulation;
        vertical-align: middle;
        white-space: nowrap;
    }
