Adding Read More link to Recent Posts (shortcode)

[hvp]

Hello,

We’re interested in adding a “Read More” link to the blog excerpts generated by the ‘recent_posts’ shortcode. Is it possible to do that in the child theme? And if so, how can we add that feature?

Thank you

You can use more tag in posts .

Pls go through this tutorial –

That does not work. Even the content demo that I imported, which includes the “<!–more–>” tag, does not add a readmore link in the recent posts list generated by the shortcode. That only works in the regular blog page (generated by template).

Moreover, if I specify a count of say 200 characters in the shortcode, it only displays around 97 characters.

The following shortcode results in the attached.

[recent_posts post_count=4 hide_thumbnail=”false” show_meta=”false” excerpt_count=200 image_size=”medium”]

Looking for answers. Please advise. Thanks.
