thanks for the prompt reply! with your feedback on the root cause from caching issue I immediately cleared my sites cache, which is stored with our host Siteground’s SG Supercacher tool. It immediately solved the problem. Sorry I don’t have a current dev env for you to take a look, but thanks for the resolution! Updating the rating now.
for those interested, I figured you can hack the size of the button so it is large enough the contain the text. It was originally 20px, I need it 2X larger:
.pt-cv-readmore {
height: 40px !important;
}
And you can pretty much modify any of the standard properties so it matches your site theme.
