Removing Icon Link to Announcement

Hi ericreynolds007,

Thanks for the kind words!

From the settings page, if you toggle the ‘Read More Visibility’ to hidden it will unwrap the anchor (link) from around the announcement , hide the read more button and remove the anchor (link) from around the icon.

That way, no part of the announcement is clickable , and only view-able from the timeline screen.

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks Evan. However, when I hide the Read More function, the timeline modules stick together (view snapshot). Therefore, I had to make the Read More link visible and apply a color style to it that matched the module’s background (view snapshot).

I tried to apply CSS to separate the modules, but I didn’t succeed.

Any advice appreciated.

Hey Eric,

That is a strange issue. I just tested removing the read more links from the announcement boxes on my localhost installation, and things seemed to be ok afterwards. No sticking or anything funky.

My best guess would be to hide the read more links and then apply a custom css attribute to override the one applied by the plugin itself.

First, disable visibility of the readmore link.

Second, add the following to your style.css file (or better yet, child theme style.css)

.cd-timeline-block {
  margin: 0 !important;
}

right now the .cd-timeline-block element has a -3.5em top and bottom margin to push things back up a bit and minimize the spacing of the announcement containers. By setting it back to 0, hopefully the containers will spread out a bit and the icons and read more link wont be clickable anymore.

Let me know! We will get things resolved for you!
