    Gday Enfold users

    I am using the Masonry grid for blog posts with ‘display excerpt’ set, and it cuts off at the expected automated length.

    However, my client would prefer to use the ‘Read More’ element inserted manually into the post due to wanting a variety of excerpt character lengths.

    When I add the element via the default editor in posts it makes no difference to the excerpt length on the masonry grid. Is that a known issue?

    cheers

    Hey itchybrain!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Add this to the functions.php:

    add_filter('avf_masonry_loop_prepare','avia_change_default_link', 10, 2);
function avia_change_default_link($loop, $entries)
{
	foreach($entries->posts as $key => $entry)
    {
        if($entry->post_type == "post")
        {
            $more 	 		 =  "<br /><span class='masonry-more-link-arrow'>".__('Read more','avia_framework')."</span>";
			$loop['content'] =   avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'avf_masonry_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_masonry_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "…", true, '') . $more;  
        }
    }

    return $loop;
}

    Adjust the style of the read more link using this selector, .masonry-more-link-arrow.

    Regards,
    Ismael
