    When you show an excerpt, it is nice but people may not know that there is more to read. Is there a setting that says “Read More” or something like that at the end of the excerpt?
    Thanks for any help

    Hi,

    This is possible and is well documented:

    posts_morelink – Include a “read more” link after each post. It receives a string of characters as a parameter which will be used as the text of the link. Example: [catlist id=38 posts_morelink=”Read more about this post”]

    Thank you for the response. I read the doc about this, added it to my post but it only showed “Read” at the end of the post. I thought maybe change it to “Continue” but that didn’t show at all. Here is my code. What am I missing.
    [catlist name=ed numberposts=1 excerpt=yes thumbnail=yes force_thumbnail=true posts_morelink=”Read More”]

    Thanks for your help

    I tested your shortcode and it worked nicely on my end: there is an excerpt being displayed and at the end of it there is a working “Read More” link to the post. Can you share a screenshot of the result you are getting?

    There are 4 posts and each one has the “Read More” setting but this morning, only the top left post shows “Read”. It has disappeared from the other 2. I went into Elementor and “Read shows on all 3 there but not on the web site. This happens on Firefox and Chrome.
    Thank you for any suggestions.

    Thanks, I’ve looked at your website.

    You see “Read because your shortcode is not formatted properly. You have to use simple double quotes ", not right double quotation mark . posts_morelink="Read More" should work. Let me know if this resolves your issue.

    Thank you, that worked but I don’t even know how I got those right quotes.
