    Is the “read more” link supposed to appear as default? I’m using the plugin on 3 different websites. One of them works. On another one I just noticed there’s no read more link and the excerpt doesn’t have … after it. I tried adding a manual excerpt and still no link. On a 3rd site I had to edit the template files to insert “read more”.

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

    Hi @artisanweb

    Thanks for reaching out!

    The Read More will only show when you don’t have an excerpt but long content on your posts/events. ?The Excerpt field is like a small description used for posts, so it will never add the Read More as it was written explicitly for that purpose.

    To add?Read More?link to the event list, you can add the following code to your child theme?functions.php?file.

    add_action( 'tribe_template_after_include:events/v2/list/event/description', function ( $file, $name, $template ) { echo "<a href=" . tribe_get_event_link() . " class='custom-btn'>Read More</a>"; }, 10, 3  );

    This code is a good starting point, and you can edit it to fit your setup.

    I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please let us know.

    Best regards,
    Iris

    Oh I see. Is there a way to set a shorter excerpt when the post (event content) isn’t very long in order to always have the read more link show? Otherwise, yes I’ll add the function.
