Hey,
Thanks for using Mission News!
I can help you out with those first two changes. Please add this CSS to the Additional CSS section in the Customizer:
.widget_ct_mission_news_post_list .style-2 li .featured-image {
width: 99px;
height: 99px;
}
.widget_ct_mission_news_post_list .style-2 li .top {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
We can’t make the (more…) text linked without a more complex customization. If you’d prefer to remove that text if it’s not linked you can do so by creating custom excerpts for the posts.
You are awesome. I really like how that tweak works. If anybody wants to have a look at the result:
http://369Renew.com – right sidebar.
I am changing the (more…) tags by using custom excerpts. But, perhaps someday the (more…) links can be included in the plugin.
Thanks again, Ben.
I’m planning on adding an option to change the default “…” that follows the excerpts, and I can add an option to make it a link as well.
If you’re already using custom excerpts, you can add the link manually into the Excerpt box with HTML. Here’s an example:
An example excerpt is right here <a href="http://369renew.com/">(more...)</a>.
You can reuse the <a> element for each post excerpt and simply replace the homepage URL with the URL of the post.
That works great for me. However, I will have future guest bloggers and I don’t think I’d be able to get them to do that.
But for now it’s a good workaround.
When you have a spare moment (or 20) and you update your brilliant plugin with that functionality, post on this thread and I’ll get an email notification.
Thanks again Ben.
Sure thing!
