 * Hi [@papai40515](https://wordpress.org/support/users/papai40515/)
 * I’m not sure what you mean by “from where are you trying to add the link ?” Can
   you clarify?
 * I tried different approaches.
   This: [https://www.abrightclearweb.com/create-wordpress-excerpts-include-links/](https://www.abrightclearweb.com/create-wordpress-excerpts-include-links/)
   This: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24151161/how-to-prevent-wordpress-from-stripping-html-tags-in-excerpt](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24151161/how-to-prevent-wordpress-from-stripping-html-tags-in-excerpt)
 * So far no luck.
 * This approach “you can add a field for excerpt link by customizing the single.
   php.” is a bit complex to me as I’m not a developer or anything. I also would
   like to not mess with individual php files if possible to avoid issues when updating,
   unless I can add a single.php file to my child theme and only modify that? I’m
   using the Twenty Twenty Three theme on WordPress 6.5.4 and from what I read it
   seems that the structure is a bit different with the new Editor, the Templates,
   etc, so I wonder if there’s another way to make changes without changing the 
   core php files (unless I can have a single.php file in my child theme).
 * Thank you for your help

 * Hi Darren
 * I checked the documentation, but as a non-developer, this seemed too complex 
   for me.
   I ended up using a simpler plugin that just needs to be added as a block
   on my template(s). No configuration at all and does the job.
 * I appreciate your reply and trying to help me!

 * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) using templates and 
   the Block Visibility plugin I was able to make the posts stack instead of being
   side by side. So far so good. Now I just really wanted to make the Read More 
   link just expand the content of the post. I found this plugin “[Ultimate Blocks](https://groundwp.com/how-to-add-read-more-expand-in-wordpress/)”
   that has an Expand option, but this only works when the visitor is already inside
   the post itself, which defeats the purpose, imo.

 * I don’t know if this is somehow relevant to the “Read More” issue, but let me
   share it anyway. I know ChatGPT is not the most reliable thing, but as a non-
   developer myself, I was able to do some things with it. A lot of headaches, yes,
   a lot of mistakes by ChatGPT, but after a few attempts (and some basic knowledge
   on my end to know how to ask certain things), I was able to build some simple
   things with HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
 * For this particular case I asked it to do what I described above and to apply
   it to a category called “Photography” (as an example). Here’s what it offered
   me, if you know how to check if it’s valuable information or not:
 * Step 1: Create or Edit the Category Template
 * First, create a category template for the “Photography” category if it doesn’t
   already exist. This will be a PHP file named `category-photography.php`. Place
   this file in your theme directory.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <?phpget_header(); // Include the headerif ( have_posts() ) :    while ( have_posts() ) :        the_post(); ?>    <div class="post-content">        <div class="post-excerpt">            <?php echo wp_trim_words(get_the_content(), 10, '...'); ?>        </div>        <div class="post-full-content" style="display: none;">            <?php the_content(); ?>        </div>        <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="read-more">Read More</a>    </div><?php    endwhile;else :    echo '<p>No posts found</p>';endif;get_footer(); // Include the footer?>
       ```
   
 * Step 2: Add CSS
 * Add the following CSS to your theme’s `style.css` file or via the Customizer (
   Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS) – (**I know this is outdated with the
   new Site Editor, but that’s what GPT suggested**):
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .post-full-content {    display: none;}
       ```
   
 * Step 3: Add JavaScript
 * Add the JavaScript to handle the “Read More” functionality. To ensure it only
   runs on the “Photography” category page, enqueue the script conditionally in 
   your theme’s `functions.php` file:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function custom_read_more_script() {    if (is_category('photography')) {        ?>        <script>        document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {            var readMoreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.read-more');            readMoreLinks.forEach(function(link) {                link.addEventListener('click', function(e) {                    e.preventDefault();                    var postContent = this.previousElementSibling;                    if (postContent.style.display === "none") {                        postContent.style.display = "block";                        this.innerText = "Read Less";                    } else {                        postContent.style.display = "none";                        this.innerText = "Read More";                    }                });            });        });        </script>        <?php    }}add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_read_more_script');
       ```
   
 * ——-
 * Now I know that even if this works (most definitely with some changes to the 
   code), how would I be able to do this and still be able to update my theme? I
   always had a hard time full understanding the Child Theme concept and always 
   relied on plugins, but I had issues in the past when trying to do it.

 * Thanks for your reply, [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/)
 * I’m using Twenty Twenty-Three version 1.4. It seems that this is a block theme,
   right? At least I am able to see that it only shows the Site Editor, which would
   indicate that this is a block theme?
 * If so, can you please help me with this?
   1 – How would I make the Read More function
   as a link/button that shows the rest of the text instead of opening a new page
   with the full post? For example I want the first 50 characters to show (let’s
   say I have a text with 500 characters) and when I press Read More, it will show
   all 500 characters, without jumping to another page. Similar to how social media
   posts behave.
 * 2 – How do I stack the posts instead of having them side by side?
 * This is pretty much what I want to achieve (regardless of screen size I want 
   it to be around 500px wide, all posts stacked):
 * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.ibb.co/BL4Q2k9/SCR-20240615-mrzp.png?ssl=1)
 * Then when I click “Read More” it expands the excerpt:
 * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.ibb.co/6R65HQr/SCR-20240615-msdn.png?ssl=1)
 * And maybe the “Read More” becomes “Read Less”. This is not mandatory, but if 
   possible, even better just for “logic” sake.

 * Really appreciate your help here! This makes so much more sense to me, having

   updates and all that.

 * Hi [@gappiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/)
 * Thank you for the quick reply.
    I’m sorry, but either something must have changed
   or I was doing something else in the past, but now that I tested it again, it
   actually shows me the files… weird.
 * I truly remember adding folders and images to older installations and I would
   get the 404 error so all this time I thought that any extra folder/files added
   to a directory with WordPress installed, wouldn’t show up. I guess I was wrong…
 * At least it seems that I can now install phpBB inside a **/forum** directory 
   🙂
 * I appreciate your time and thank you for pushing me to testing it again!

 * Thank you [@mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/)
 * I would follow the steps of disabling plugins and themes, but unfortunately I
   once had an issue with a website where I disabled a theme and some information
   was gone once I enabled it. Maybe when another theme was enabled, some blocks
   changed the way they were displaying the content and then going back to the original
   theme, couldn’t really interpret that same content and it was all messes up, 
   so I avoid doing that again. I don’t know why that happened, I don’t know if 
   it was an issue with WP or the theme, but I learned my lesson.
 * I will use one of the other options for embedding the player then.
 * Appreciate your time and help!

 * Hi [@anlino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anlino/)
 * I totally understand, no worries.
    I was able to find this plugin that allows
   custom CSS per post: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/blocks-css/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/blocks-css/)
 * Or if I want to add that globally, instead of a child theme (I tried a plugin
   and it messed with my styles, for some reason), I can just add that to the Additional
   CSS panel inside Customize:
 * .wp-block-table tbody > tr:nth-child(even) > td,
    .wp-block-table tbody td { 
   background: #fff; border: 1px solid; }
 * Thank you for your time and reply, though. 🙂

    Looking

   do what I would like it to do which is adding a list of all my tags on the sidebar
