Since there’s no elegant way to add a “Recent Posts” Cornerstone element that includes excerpt, I thought about using Essential grid.

However there isn’t an Essential Grid skin without an image, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to delete the image element within a particular skin.

Is there any .js or CSS to remove the image altogether, and add a “Read More” text link to the excerpt element?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! You can add excerpt to Recent Posts with some code in Child Theme. You can follow this thread – https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/add-excerpt-to-recent-posts-shortcode/#post-66964

And regarding the ES Grid, Read more might not be added but I can help you to remove/hide the image with CSS. If you want this, you can provide your URL and point us the grid you are referring.

Cheers!

Hmm, that doesn’t seem to work.

I have a php customization to “Recent Posts” already – see https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/blog-index-page-layout-help/page/2/

Could that be why this change isn’t working?

Hi Gee,

That’s different function. I tried to login to your site via FTP on that link to check you current code but it is not working. Would you mind providing updated credentials so we can check?

[Gee R]

Hi,

That login should work. Were you connecting via ftp rather than sftp? Also note that the port number isn’t the usual one.

Hi again,

Please add the following code in your Customizer via Appearance > Customize > Custom > Edit Global CSS:

.esg-entry-media-wrapper {
    display: none !important;
}

Let us know how this goes!

[Gee R]

Yes, that worked. Thank you.

I removed the image by adding:

.x-recent-posts .x-recent-posts-img {
  display: none;
}

But I’d like to style the “Read More” text (color and hover color). Can I do that?

[Rad]

Hi there,

Please add this as well with your preferred color.

.more-link, .view {
color: #ccc;
}

.more-link:hover, .view:hover {
color: #000;
}

Cheers!

Hi there,

Please add following code in Customize -> Custom -> Global CSS :

.eg-cleveland-element-2 {
    background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.5);
    color: #000;
}

Hope that helps.

[Gee R]

No, that doesn’t work either.

Please advise.

Hi there,

Please check the attachment and confirm if we’re looking at the right read more link.
I just tried to login to your dashboard but provided credentials don’t work anymore.

Thanks.

[Gee R]

No – the read more link is at …/rfp-checklists/
