 * How can I insert a “read more” link after the excerpt? Or maybe link the title
   to the post’s permalink?
 * Thanks

 * You can try something like this:
 *     ```
       [loop type=post count=4]
       <div>
       <h3><a href="[field url]" title"[field title escape=true]">[field title escape=true]</a></h3>
       <p>[field excerpt words=25] <a href="[field url]" title="Read more"> Read more</a></p>
       </div> 
       [/loop]
       ```
   
 * Let me know if it is what you’re looking for!

 * Hi there, when I do this, it populates the URL of the current page rather than
   the blog post.
 * Any suggestions as to what’s going wrong & how to fix?

 * Hey Raychill, I recommend you open a new thread if the topic is a different one.
   It keeps things cleaner and helps other users find problems easier. To add info
   to the current post I suggest you consider a plugin that lets you append or preppend
   info to the post, such as this one:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/append-or-prepend-content/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/append-or-prepend-content/)
 * Once istalled go to Settings > Writing and add in the corresponding box (post
   type & before or after):
    [loop] [field you-field] [field you-other-field] [/
   loop]
 * ![Append and Preppend with custom content shortcodes](https://mrfoxtalbot.files.
   wordpress.com/2016/11/appende-preppend.jpeg)
 * There is no need for parameters since it will detect the current post.
    Good 
   luck!
