Masonry Blog – Add Custom 'Read more' link with Advanced Custom Fields

Hello,

I’ve been trying to solve this problem myself for hours, but can’t get it to work properly.

Here’s my question: I would like to add a custom “read more” link beneath each item in the masonry blog view, that gets populated with data from Advanced Custom Fields for linktext and linktarget. To achieve this, I need to output the link beneath each item and remove the A container that is wrapping each masonry blog post item.
I am able to put together the link just fine, but I fail at removing the A container and replacing it with a DIV – the layout gets messed up & the posts are not shown next to each other but underneath each other, every item in fullwidth (although I’m setting all the css classes that were used on the A container before).

I used this code in my functions.php:

add_filter( 'avf_masonry_loop_prepare', 'avf_masonry_loop_prepare_mod_cat', 10, 2 );
function avf_masonry_loop_prepare_mod_cat( $key, $entries )
{

	$linktext = get_field('linktext', $key['ID']);
	$linktarget = get_field('linkziel', $key['ID']);
	
	if ( empty( $linktext ) ) {
		$linktext = "Mehr >";
	}
	
	if ( empty( $linktarget ) ) {
		$linktarget = $key['url'];
	}
		
    $key['text_after'] .= "
<span class='masonry-more-link-arrow'><a href='" . $linktarget  . "' target='_self' class='readmore'>". $linktext ."</a></span>";
    return $key;
}

And this Javascript code:

jQuery('document').ready(function(){

	jQuery('a.av-masonry-entry').wrapInner('<div class="masonry-element"></div>');
	jQuery('.masonry-element').addClass('av-masonry-entry isotope-item post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-aktuelles  av-masonry-item-with-image av-masonry-item-loaded');
	
		
	if ( jQuery('.masonry-element').parent().is( "a" ) ) {
    	jQuery('.masonry-element').unwrap();
    }
    
    jQuery( '.masonry-element.av-masonry-entry:empty' ).remove();
      
    
});

I hope I could make my problem clear!

Thank you in advance for your help!
