Static Front Page Help

  • fteswl · Member ·

    I currently have a static front page and I want to add the little description feature after each post you can read a little bit of the post and a button will say read more which will take you to the full article. When I tried to pair this code separately with my other codes on the page it works but doesn’t keep my original format. How do I insert this code into my other codes properly?

    [display-posts include_excerpt="true"]

    Podcast Episodes

    [display-posts include_excerpt="true"]
    [display-posts category="podcast-episodes" posts_per_page="3" include_date="true" date_format="F j, Y" image_size="thumbnail"]

    Sports & Pro Wrestling Articles

    [display-posts include_excerpt="true"]
    [display-posts category="sportspro-wrestling-articles" posts_per_page="3" include_date="true" date_format="F j, Y" image_size="thumbnail"]

    Music/Movies/Games Reviews

    [display-posts include_excerpt="true"]
    [display-posts category="music/movies/games-reviews" posts_per_page="3" include_date="true" date_format="F j, Y" image_size="thumbnail"]

    Social Topic Pieces

    [display-posts include_excerpt="true"]
    [display-posts category="social-topic-articles" posts_per_page="3" include_date="true" date_format="F j, Y" image_size="thumbnail"]

    Above is how I set it on my static page.

    [display-posts include_excerpt="true"] Works but it’s displaying all the posts instead of just the 3 posts in each section. So I am not sure how to incorporate the code.

    I also would like that “read more” button under each post. The button is on every other page except my static homepage

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Basically what I am look for is the ‘read more’ button that is on all my other pages and with that it posts literally the beginning each article post.

    Hi,
    You can’t append Read More link or button via shortcode. Here is the complete arguments of Display Posts Shortcode.

    Thanks

    Hey ok so I can only do the excerpt shortcode? Is there anything that I can do to indicate a viewer can read more to the article? Or there’s not else, all I can use is the except code

    I just want a short code that will allow me to post the beginning part of each post and how to incorporate it in my codes already from the original post.

    Hi,

    Shortcodes are pre-defined by WordPress.com engineers.
    I have re-checked the shortcode and unable to find any option to put Read More link.

    Thanks
