I’m displaying excerpts with a recent_posts short code:
[recent_posts count=”2″ orientation=”horizontal” enable_excerpt=”true”]
This causes the entire excerpt to be part of the link to the post. I’d prefer not to have that entire excerpt be styled as a link. I would prefer to have only the “Read More” text at the end of the excerpt be the anchor.I’ve been using the x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2code function given elsewhere on this forum and I’ve tried modifying the function to put the tag deep inside of the $output string instead of at the outer level. Unfortunately, this causes the recent_posts styling to fall apart because the CSS styling depends on the HTML structure not being changed. E.g., there is a CSS class that sets the width (when using the horizontal orientation):
.x-recent-posts a.x-recent-post2 {
width: 48%;
}If I change the outer to a <div> and put the around a “Read More” string the layout falls apart.
Is there any relatively easy way to make just the “Read More” text be the link?

Staging site: http://pia.videoperformance.video/OK, never mind. As sometimes happens, I kept working the problem after posting my request and eventually I came up with a good solution. I added some CSS to change the text color inside the recent_post object back to the standard text color. Then, I edited the functions.php file to strip off the “Read More” text which is included in that text. Finally, outside the <span> which includes that text I added the Read More text back in and gave it its own class which I could then use to style as an anchor.
Problem solved.
