Hello There,
Thanks for writing in!
1.) For each stack, they have different settings. Some may have read more, other stacks only have ...
. I am not which stack are you using. To make sure that all stacks has a read more, assuming that you child theme is installed is active, you can simply add this code in your child theme’s functions.php file
// Excerpt More String
// =============================================================================
if ( ! function_exists( 'x_excerpt_string' ) ) :
function x_excerpt_string( $more ) {
$stack = x_get_stack();
if ( $stack == 'integrity' ) {
return ' ... <div><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a></div>';
} else if ( $stack == 'renew' ) {
return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
} else if ( $stack == 'icon' ) {
return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
} else if ( $stack == 'ethos' ) {
return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
}
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'x_excerpt_string' );
endif;
And to limit the number of recent post items, you can go to Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most. The WordPress default is just 10
.
Hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes.
