Hi,

You can chose a different block if you would like to have a Read more button. These are the blocks that currently have this option
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-24/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-23/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-22/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-20/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-13/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-12/
The excerpt length can also be controlled in the theme panel
https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/
The font properties for the post title displayed on modules can be customized in general, or by module

The excerpt can also be customized here

For the color of the title and excerpt for that block, you can try a code like this
https://www.screencast.com/t/izroDIlXVtR

.td_block_4 .td-module-title a{
color: #bf0c00;
}
.td_block_4 .td-excerpt {
color: #000;
}

Just enter it in Theme panel->Custom Css section. If you would like it to apply for all then blocks, remove the block class from the beginning of the code.

Thanks

Thanks for your good and clear reply.

But i need it in the Block 4 (Read more), maybe php script or something custom?

Hi,

This is how the Read more button link is implemented in a module that features it
https://www.screencast.com/t/U9anLMNaAo
Block 4 uses module 2, you could copy the the code from module 11 inside this one, like this
https://www.screencast.com/t/gmV6RzxD7
The result would be like this
https://www.screencast.com/t/wNrd9ETGU7
Now you could add some margin for the button, since it has none
https://www.screencast.com/t/EbRbD8M9SPR
The code must be entered in Theme panel->Custom Css

.td_module_2 .td-excerpt {
margin-bottom:15px;
}

Thanks

I was able to implement the Read More button by copying the code as you suggested thank you. Now I have 2 more questions:
(1) How can I change the background color of the button
(2) Do I need to move this code into the new child theme or will it “stick” through theme updates?
Thanks again
Buck

Hi,

Bets you do it in a child theme so it will not be lost after a theme update.

As for the button colors, use this code – https://www.screencast.com/t/1p1BqfoV

.td_block_4 .td_module_2 .td-read-more a{
background-color: red;
color: black;
}

Change the colors as you wish, then enter it in Theme panel->Custom CSS.
