Add button “Read more…”

    Hi. Congratulations on the fantastic plugin!
    I would just like to include a “read more” button because I chose to display the thumbnail excerpt, and you can only click on the image / title. Many users get confused and try to click on the excerpt.

    Is it possible to put link in the excerpt and / or add the read more button in the end?
    Thank you.

    My HTML code (output):

    
<h2>Related posts:</h2>
<div class="crp_related crp_related_shortcode ">
<ul>
<li><a href="#link_site"    target="_blank" ><img src="1822414_960_720-150x150.jpg" alt="#title" title="#title" width="150" height="150" class="crp_thumb crp_featured" /><span class="crp_title">#title</span></a>
<span class="crp_excerpt">#excerpt &hellip;</span>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="crp_clear"></div>
</div>

    I need:
    <a href="#link..."><span class="crp_excerpt">#excerpt &hellip;</span></a>

    And/or

    <span class="crp_excerpt">#excerpt &hellip;</span>
<a href="#link..."><span class="btn">Read more&hellip;</span></a>

    Without losing changes, in future updates of the plugin.

    Thank you!

    You could potentially add a filter function to crp_excerpt which will allow you to add your own read more link.

    Hello. Thanks for the answer.
    I was able to add the text “read more…”, but the link does not appear in the description, nor the button.
    Do you have an example of how I could achieve this result?
    Thank you again.

    Can you post the code you’re my currently? The filter also passes the ID of the post as the second parameter so you can use that with get_the_permalink( $id) to get the link, if I’m not mistaken

    I only need a exemple: how to use the crp_excerpt function?

    I need:
    <a href="#link..."><span class="crp_excerpt">#excerpt &hellip;</span></a>

    And
    <a href="#link..."><span class="btn">Read more&hellip;</span></a>

    Thanks.

    You can use the filter function like this. Please double-check formatting, closing brackets, etc.

    
function crp_change_excerpt( $output, $id ) {

$this_post = get_post( $id );

$output .= '<a href="' . get_the_permalink( $this_post ) . '"><span class="crp_excerpt">#excerpt &hellip;</span></a>';

$output .= '<a href="' . get_the_permalink( $this_post ) . '"><span class="btn">Read more&hellip;</span></a>';

}
add_filter( 'crp_excerpt', 'crp_change_excerpt', 10, 2 );
