Hey Alain,
The read more links are generated when the content of the announcement exceeds the length of the excerpts. This was a complaint that we frequently received since users were clicking into announcements to view more of it, only to find it was just as long as the excerpt.
What you can do to enable the read more links for all announcements is to use the filter that we’ve built into the plugin to re-enable this.
Feel free to add the following to your themes functions.php
add_filter( 'timeline_express_conditional_readmore', '__return_false );
As for the read more links, the translation files in the free version are served through www.ads-software.com. It’s possible that the Pro version isn’t fully translated into the language you are using it in, yet.
To update the Read More link text you can also use a filter to do so:
function timeline_express_custom_read_more( $post_id ) {
return 'Custom Read More';
}
add_filter( 'timeline_express_read_more_text', 'timeline_express_custom_read_more' );
That should alter the read more links to be ‘Custom Read More’ on all of the announcements. You can also conditionally filter them based on the $post_id
, however you need for your project.
