    Hello, I am using the List Category Posts plugin and am displaying certain category posts on different pages.

    example page: http://tbcforcbt.com/?page_id=142

    I have been searching threads for a couple hours now about how to add a “read more” link after my excerpt, but none of them seem to work.

    I have my category posts in my pages as: [catlist id=### excerpt=yes] and I have written excerpts manually via each post.

    What’s the easiest way to add a “read more” link to each of my posts when showing on my category pages?

    Thanks in advance

    I also searched for a way to do this and didn’t find a solution, other than manually adding a read more link to each excerpt.

    FEATURE REQUEST: It would be great if the plugin could support the <!–more–> tag when excerpt is set to yes. I think this would facilitate excerpt creation and would take care of the “read more” link.

    Insert the following code into line 187 of /list_category_posts/include/CatListDisplayer.php:

    private function get_post_link($single, $tag = null, $css_class = null){
				$info = '<a href="' . get_permalink($single->ID) .
					'" title="more">Read more</a>';
				return $this->assign_style($info, $tag, $css_class);
}

    then in your template call using:

    $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_post_link($single);

    I have the ‘read more’ text displayed, but it is below the excerpt. What I am looking for is to have the ‘read more’ text be right after the excerpt – not below it. What section to I have to modify to do this? Many thanks!
