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.
Hello @artisanweb,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes. However, this would require a bit of customization. Please note that we can only provide limited support for customization like this per our scope of support.
Refer to this article regarding customization: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/custom-development/.
