Hi There,

Thank you for the screenshot.
See attached screenshot of what I am seeing right now. The code is working as expected. Adding the Weiterlesen square button at the end of the excerpt. The only thing that I found weird is the Read text at the end of the excerpt. You don’t have plugins that might cause this. There’s also no code on your functions.php that will add this text. I tried to login to your site hosting using FTP but my connection was refused by your server. Did you in any case, edited the main X theme files?

[ili333]

Not that I know, never edited the main x theme files.

[ili333]

I also feel strange about that short “read” text inside the box.

[ili333]

And now I´m facing with a problem without knowing how it came to that. Please have a look at my homepage under following URL http://veritasblog.de/artikel/
You will see, that the pencil icon, calendar icon etc. looks very strange. Instead there are some unknown icons/signs. Anyone know how to fix this ?

Hi again,

Please add the following code in your child theme’s style.css file:

.x-icon-pencil:before {
    content: '\f040' !important;
}
.x-icon-calendar:before {
    content: '\f073' !important;
}
.x-icon-bookmark:before {
    content: '\f02e' !important;
    color: #7e7c7c;
}
.x-icon-comments:before {
    content: '\f075' !important;
    color: #7e7c7c;
}

Let us know how this goes!

[ili333]

Thank you works fine, I added this code inside the Custom CSS. In child themes css this code doesn´t work.
Now only the recent posts issue is left.

Hi There,

Just to make sure, can you try disabling all plugins except cornerstone and then switch to main X theme? If your hosting has caching service, try clearing cache before checking again. This is just narrow down where that Read text is coming from.

[ili333]

Hi, did it like you suggested, but that didn´t work

Hi there,

Before we continue, because there are seems a confusion of what’s need to implemented.

The changes you wish to implement is both for Home’s recent post element and Blog’s recent posts.

Hence, you’re not going to remove any code, please re-add this code as this is for blog’s recent posts.

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 ' ... <div><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a></div>';
    } else if ( $stack == 'icon' ) {
      return ' ...';
    } else if ( $stack == 'ethos' ) {
      return ' ...';
    }

  }
  add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'x_excerpt_string' );
endif;

And this one is for home’s recent post element.

All you need to do is edit this line,

function x_excerpt_string( $more ) {

and change it into this

function x_excerpt_string( $more ) {

if ( !is_home() ) return "";

To make sure that there is no “Read” text on home’s recent post element.

Thanks.

Absolutely genius! It works fine. Great support by the way!
