Hi there,

Would you mind providing your FTP login credentials as well? I like to directly test it 🙂

Thanks!

Hello There,

I have edited your excerpt more code and replace it with this line:

return ' ... ' . __( 'Weiterlesen', '__x__' ) . '';

It turns out that the Panama skin itself has it’s own filter which has created the issue. Could please choose another skin to test this out?

Please let us know how it goes.

Hi there,

thanks. Is is possible to keep the Panama skin like it is?

In the moment the excerpts already show the “Read on”, but only as text. Is it possible to make a hyperlink so the “Read on” links into the blog entries? Then everything would be perfect.

Thanks again!!

Hi There,

Unfortunately, I can’t login via FTP again to check your current excerpt readmore code. I am getting the following error:

Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error:	Could not connect to server

If this line of code add that the read more text from your functions on the child theme:

return ' ... ' . __( 'Weiterlesen', '__x__' ) . '';

You can update that to this like the previous suggested

return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Weiterlesen', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
We just wrap it inside the link tag.

Hope this helps.

Hi!

Thanks, i did that now, but it still doesn’t the “Read on” in the latest blog entry. Does your access to the FTP work?

Hi there,

FTP isn’t working on my end, though, I disabled the code through admin but no change. That means it’s nothing to do with that code. Could be something else.

Please provide a procedure on how we could get it with your FTP.

Thanks!

Hi,

i think it is a bug in The Grid.

Therefore I have switched to the “conventional” recent posts shortcode, which is also nice. The only drawback is, that there is no excerpt possible or built in. I have repeatedly made the experience that those “native” solutions to the theme generally work better than the plugins offered.

Thanks for your help.

Hi There,

You’re welcome!
Please add the following code on your child theme’s functions.php file to add excerpt to recent post element.

// Recent Posts with Excerpt
// =============================================================================

function x_shortcode_recent_posts_with_excerpt( $atts ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(

function change_recent_posts_to_v2() {

}

Hope this helps.
