Timeline: issue with CSS

Hi Amar,

From what I can see – you’ve wrapped the timeline shortcode inside of a <pre> tag which is what seems to be causing the issue.

Can you remove the shortcode from that <pre> tag and re-save the page – and test again?

Thanks,
Evan

No problem at all Amar,

Glad that it was a quick fix for you!

Let us know if you run into any other issues – we’ll be glad to help out.

Thanks,
Evan

The read more button doesn’t display because your excerpts are not long enough to warrant a ‘read more’ link.

I would recommend increasing your excerpt lenghts if you want to ensure the read more link to display, or else you’ll need to hook into timeline-express-after-excerpt and generate your own ‘read more’ link.

You can then use the filter ‘timeline_express_read_more_link’ to alter the default read more links, so they don’t appear:

function custom_timeline_express_readmore( $read_more, $post_id ) {
  return '';
}
add_filter( 'timeline_express_read_more_link', 'custom_timeline_express_readmore', 10, 2 );

Which the above code would go into your functions.php file, and will remove the defualt read more links built into the plugin – allowing you to use your own custom read more buttons.

Example of a custom read more link:

function generate_custom_read_more_link() {
   global $post;
   return '<a href="' . get_the_permalink( $post->ID ) . '" class="custom-class">Read More</a>';
}
add_action( 'timeline-express-after-excerpt', 'generate_custom_read_more_link' );

Using them together, all of your announcements will have a ‘read more’ link assigned to them – whether or not the excerpt length is long enough.

Thanks,
Evan

Hey Amar,

The second part should actually have been echo '<a href="blah blah and not return.

However I just wrapped up a documentation article outlining the steps above, with a screenshot of the results:

Thanks!

No problem at all! If you continue to use the plugin and find it to be helpful – We would love it if you could leave us a positive review here in the repository, so others can take note of our work:

Thanks again!
Have a great rest of your day.

Hi Amar,

Yes the filters are unlimited – both the timelines and the categories. I do have plans to incorporate tags and display categories in a future release, just working on improving the base plugin before building out any additional features. we’d like to have a solid base before expanding.

Thanks so much!
Evan

Awesome, thanks so much Amar. As I continue to add additional features and build out the plugin I will certainly include the features mentioned above.

Thanks again,
Evan
