Hello,

How can I add a “read more” link underneath my blog shortcode items on my homepage? It will ink to the full individual blog post.

Latest version of everything. Website is here: http://restorationgam.staging.wpengine.com/

Hi Katie,

Regretfully, the recent posts element/shortcode does not offer a read more function. And regretfully we can not provide support for modifying any Cornerstone element. I advice that you use a plugin instead to output a very flexible recent post content. Something like the Display Posts Shortcode It does offer a lot of parameters. It may look very raw at first but that is one thing good about it, it is fully styleable (with css).

Sample shortcode that you can use if you installed that plugin.

[display-posts post_type="post" posts_per_page="3" include_excerpt="true" excerpt_length="20" image_size="thumbnail" include_date="true" date_format="F j, Y" excerpt_more="Read More" excerpt_more_link="true" wrapper="ul" wrapper_class="my-recent-posts x-block-grid three-up"]

Thanks,
