Hi there,

I would like to add a ‘view post’ button below my recent posts. I will be using the ‘recent posts’ short code within a sidebar widget. I am using the renew stack.

Please note: I had a very similar question a few weeks back which you answered brilliantly. That question (which you can see here) was, ‘how do I put a button below recent portfolio posts’. The answer you gave for that involved adding a child theme and then adding the below code to the functions.php file. So I’m assuming it is a very simple tweak of the below code so that it has the same affect on the recent posts and not just recent portfolio posts.

Many thanks

Lewis
