Hide text on homepage after the "read-more"

Posted in: Newsmag

Hello, I want my homepage excerpt to show the text before the <–readmore–>. As it is by default, it ignores the Read More option and shows the text by default.

Can you please help?

Is there any way we can change the loading image?

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

You can change excerpt length for modules/blocks from Theme Panel > Excerpt section: http://screencast.com/t/Kpft6jiUb1i
Module 15 take the entire content of the articles and you can use it on loops (category page, latest articles,blog..) and this will show content until read more tag is added. You can see this on our demo blog: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_classic_blog/

Thanks!

Hello Alin, that works on Module 15, I can easily limit the excerpt and it works, but I’m using “Block 11”. I can limit the excerpt on the text but it completely ignores my “Read More” button. I want to have posts with just 3 or 4 words, then a Read More button for the rest of the article.

Is there any work around?

Thanks

Hi,

Block 11 was made by module 10 so you can change excerpt for this module – http://screencast.com/t/uZOy6Taq6M
Like I said if you use read more tag in post – http://screencast.com/t/2zvOJDZo it will apply only on module 15 that display the entire content of the post.
Please provide more details if this is not your issue and a link so I can take a look.

Hope this helps!

Hi Alin, thank you for such a fast reply. What you explained was what I already tried but without success. It ignores my “Read more” tag and always shows the full text.

Here is the link so you can check it out: http://epicfox.pt/

Hi,

Block 11 doesn’t display read more button you have to use block 12 if you want read more button. Please take a look on our demo:
Block 11 – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/block-11/
Block 12 – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/block-12/

If you want read more button on block 11, please take a look at module 11 – http://screencast.com/t/fZqbP1x2j and copy also that code in module 10 – http://screencast.com/t/Hkwe4ADGesCm

Hi Alin, thank you again.

I don’t want to activate the “Read-more” button. It’s fine the way it is.

What I want is to enable the “Read-more” shortcode.

For example:

Article text, lorem ipsum sit dolor.
<!–more–>
Rest of text

I want my homepage to just show the text: “Article text, lorem ipsum sit dolor.” and the rest of the post should show everything. Did you understood? Sorry for my English. I want to enable the <!–more–> shortcode, it just doesn’t work. Your theme complete ignores it and always shows all the text on the homepage until the “Excerpt” limit.

Thanks

Hi,


@DarkCrash
that is what I’m trying to explain you, the read more tag works only on module 15 that takes the entire content of the post (it not take excerpt) and it is used to limit that content. The tagdiv blocks display excerpt that can be controlled (length) from Theme Panel, they don’t get the content of the articles, so cannot be limited by tag. Hope this make sense!

Thanks!

Hi, I understood what you said, thank you.

I’ve changed the Block from 11 to 12 so now I’m using the Block 12 module.

The readmore button appeared but the readmore tag is still ignored by the theme. It just cuts the text according to the excerpt lenght.

I’ll find another way and try a possible fix.

Thank you Alin
