    Hi

    Happy New Year
    The site is up and running. Only a few tweaks to go.

    On I just came across is that the search page for the products and blog posts has an issue when the last element is an image.

    I hope you can help on this, I would like to know...

    1) Where do I set the amount of text to show before the Read This Post Link?

    2) IS it possible to style the Read This Post to a) say Read More and b) look like the Add to Cart button in style?

    Thanks

    Rob

    Hi Rob Snow,

    We’re sorry for the late reply, we got back working today, the replies time will get normal now(within a business day).

    1) It will display the short description of the product, the excerpt that you've added to the post/portfolio, so there isn't any field to choose the length of the excerpt on the Search Page, but if you want to change that I can send you some code to achieve that.

    2) Are you saying that you want to change the text from the Read This Post to Read More because I'm seeing that it has the same style as the other buttons.

    Feel free to ask for anything you need.

    Kind Regards

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply.

    1) That would be good, if you could send some code to minimise the amount shown in excerpts. I am sure I saw it somewhere.

    2) I want the Read This Post to Say "Read More and to look like this button.

    Thanks

    Hi Rob Snow,

    I've logged into your website to check it with the previous login information that you've sent me in another ticket, and as you're using the Theme Builder to build archive pages, you can change the text of the read more button and the length of the excerpt from there, so please go to Saved templates > All templates > Blog_Page, and that's the template that's applied also for the Search Page.

    Feel free to ask for anything you need.

    Kind Regards

    Thanks for that.


    I named to change the text and the style of the button, but the expert length does not change regardless of what number you add. I guess I need to contact the Elementor crew.


    Thanks

    Hi Rob Snow,

    Have you managed to solve that issue with the excerpt, because I'm seeing that they almost have the same amount of words?

    Hi

    These two images are from the Blog Page from the menu and from a search result.
    Not all of the items have the same length.

    Hi Rob Snow,

    We've updated some code in from theme on your website, and now it should work alright, but it maybe is caused by a plugin, can you please try to deactivate all of your plugins(besides Elementor and those that are required by the theme) and check if the issue is gone, if so then activate your plugins one by one until the issue is back again, so you will find which plugin is causing that issue.

    Feel free to ask for anything you need.

    Kind Regards

    Hi

    and Thanks again.

    I think I have figured it out.

    1) When there is no Excerpt in the Blog post then the snippet shows the first letters (whatever is set in the settings).

    2) If there is an Excerpt then it shows ALL the excerpt regardless of the variable set in the settings.

    3) The shop pages have NO excerpt and so shows the Short Description in full.

    Unless any code can be created that can recognise the short description, the excerpt and the lack of excerpt and treat them all the same regarding that setting, then nothing can really be done I guess.

    I have added some images to show with and without excerpt, and shop short description.

    Thanks

    Hi Rob Snow,

    I am so sorry for the late reply, 

    Glad to know that you've figured it out, so please add the excerpt for the products/posts/portfolios that doesn't have it and it will work alright.

    Feel free to ask for anything you need.

    Kind Regards
