Blog excerpt

georgetate · February 2017

I'd like my blog excerpt to feature the photo on the top. Can I do this using the news blog excerpt using the code in a column i.e. [blog_news title="" style="photo"
count="5" category="NEWS" category_multi=""
excerpt="1"
link="http://lca.search-for.me.uk/newsandevents/"
link_title="MORE NEWS & EVENTS>"] ?

I can do this using the blog (see http://lca.search-for.me.uk/), but can you tell me how to add a Read More link at the bottom as in the blog-news above ? (I tried adding a Read More tag to the post but that doesn't work)

Hi,

You have detailed information about this HERE

You can click the shortcode and builder item buttons to read more

The thing you are looking for is button link

thanks

Thanks for that. I used the code as you suggested which should have included a Read More link:

[blog count="1" style="photo" columns="1" category="" category_multi=""NEWS,EVENTS" exclude_id="" more="1" filters="0" pagination="0" load_more="" greyscale="0" margin=""]

However it doesn't have the Read More bottom right, nor for that matter the love icon and count bottom left ?

(See "A new event with Steve ..." http://lca.search-for.me.uk/)

Sorry, I misunderstood you. This is not doable, the only way you can do this is by creating a column under the blog and pasting a button there. More information about the button item HERE

OK that's great. And if I wanted to add the love button with count ?

Blog and blog_news shortcodes generate love elements. When you use this shortcode you don't have to add any love elements. If you want to add a love element anywhere on the page by itself you cannot do this without direct code changes. This is not doable with the theme options.
