Post built with page builder and read more link

Support
#1

Using Pro 2.2.5
I’m using the masonry full width layout.
I’ve built my posts with the page builder.

Is there a way to get a read more link to show under the title on the posts page?

I don’t need it for this example, but if I needed an excerpt, how would I get that to show up?

thanks

I did some more digging and this post solved my issue.

Post built with the page builder need manual excerpts added and the function to add read more also work just fine.

A followup question would be:

How do I control the length of the manual excerpt, the theme options value I’m guessing only modifies the dynamically created excerpts?

Hi @wbgTHEMECO,

The limit of the manual excerpt is up to you since you manually added it. Or perhaps, would you mind providing further clarification?

Thanks!

Hmmm, I don’t see the length specified in the function I used based on the tips from the other post. Howe would I control the manual excerpt length thru a function?

Hello There,

By default, excerpt length is set to 55 words. To change excerpt length to 20 or n words using the excerpt_length filter,
add the following code to the functions.php file in your theme:

function wpdocs_custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 20;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'wpdocs_custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

Hope this helps.
