Title: Read More button Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Read More button * [Justin Wasilenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justin-wasilenko/) * (@justin-wasilenko) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/) * Please add a option to display a read more button or link at the end of the excerpt. * Another nice feature to have would be when the blog post contains a video, to have a html 5 player show up in the thumbnail. * Nice plugin so far! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-recent-posts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-recent-posts/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [Eugene Holin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenyh/) * (@eugenyh) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303183) * Hello, Justin! * Thanks for the feedback! Nice ideas! I’ll make this features in the next version or in one of the next versions of the plugin. * Thread Starter [Justin Wasilenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justin-wasilenko/) * (@justin-wasilenko) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303231) * Eugene thanks for getting back to me. Playing with your plugin a little more I have one more feature request. * Is it possible to integrate it with [https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-video-plus/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-video-plus/)? * Would be great to have a feature video from the blog instead of the image displayed. * Plugin Author [Eugene Holin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenyh/) * (@eugenyh) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303232) * Justin, I think that the integration with other plugins – not a good idea, as it requires the user to install another plugin. More plugins – WordPress is slower. * I can implement support of the Featured Video in my plugin, but this feature complicates the plugin and it already requires simplification, I can clearly see. * I’m not sure what kind of approach is best to choose and I need to to think about this idea. I would be grateful for any arguments in favor of an approach. * Thread Starter [Justin Wasilenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justin-wasilenko/) * (@justin-wasilenko) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303248) * I am all for keeping plugins in small, fast, and with easy to customize options. * Not sure how you could do it, and I agree not integrating with another plugin. * I would just like to see a option where if the blog post has a video from youtube as the main content, a small thumbnail is displayed showing the youtube video and not the picture. * But this might not be a realistic option. * Plugin Author [Eugene Holin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenyh/) * (@eugenyh) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303260) * I’ll make the ability to display video from the Post instead of the Featured Image, but only in the second half of July, after my vacation. * Thread Starter [Justin Wasilenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justin-wasilenko/) * (@justin-wasilenko) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303281) * Great thanks Eugene. I found another bug, I am using Cyclone Slider 2 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/cyclone-slider-2/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cyclone-slider-2/) * And when I have your plugin enabled it overwrites the Cyclone Slider 2 menu entry. Both plugins want to share the same space on the dashboard menu but looks like your plugin overwrites the Slider one with the Advanced Recent Posts link. * Plugin Author [Eugene Holin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenyh/) * (@eugenyh) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303352) * Hello! * I fixed the issue with disappearing the link to another plugin in WordPress Menu, you can download the pre-release of the new version from Github or wait a few days, when I release the new version with another improvements and fixes on WordPress. org * Thread Starter [Justin Wasilenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justin-wasilenko/) * (@justin-wasilenko) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303378) * Hey Eugene, Thanks for the fix with cyclone slider. With the responsive layout, I still don’t see embedded youtube videos displaying on the front page. I see on your example page it works. Not sure what I am doing wrong. * Also the read more button I have seen, it showed up once. * But I think when I limit the excerpt word count it gets disabled. Or it isn’t finding the tag and using that to create the read more button. I also have a problem where the posts get cut off and don’t show the full length of the content. If the excerpt is to long, the container just cuts off the text and doesn’t show it. * Plugin Author [Eugene Holin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenyh/) * (@eugenyh) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303380) * Hello! * I have added a video like this: simply insert a link such as [https://youtu.be/1OB5cvIeqws](https://youtu.be/1OB5cvIeqws), and that’s all. What code of the embedded video dou you insert in the post? * Just not set the height of the grid elements, [see the demo](http://demo.lp-tricks.com/recent-posts/responsive-grid-layout-with-different-height/)– there are some elements with the same excerpt lenght (50 words) but different height. * Thread Starter [Justin Wasilenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justin-wasilenko/) * (@justin-wasilenko) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303381) * Sorry, it does work. I uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled. Now I see at the bottom of the posts page there is the youtube option, great work! * Here is a image of the text being cutoff and no read more tag: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/lpjzo1amu7o20yo/arp-cutoff.jpg?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/lpjzo1amu7o20yo/arp-cutoff.jpg?dl=0) * Plugin Author [Eugene Holin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenyh/) * (@eugenyh) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303382) * Give me a link to the page when the problem with cutted text is occurs. Read more link now in development, not ready yet. * Thread Starter [Justin Wasilenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justin-wasilenko/) * (@justin-wasilenko) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-more-button-27/#post-6303383) * I’ll have to wait to send you the website, as it is not live yet or allowed to be shown to the public.
