Hey guys,

I’m trying to get this look on the “Ream More” section. Basically displaying it inline with the excerpt. Any help would be great. Thanks!

I figured out how to get it working. See my post: https://wpshowposts.com/support/topic/read-more-link-inline/

Hey guys,

I was never able to get this working properly. I have the beta version installed and activated. Is this option built in to the beta version?

Hi Clayton,

If you download the plugin from here you will be able to fix the problem:
https://github.com/jeiseman/wp-show-posts

After using this version of the plugin, I put the following in my functions.php:
```
add_filter('wpsp_content_more_link', function() {
    return null;
} );
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'generate_custom_content_more', 16 );
function generate_custom_content_more( $more ) {
    return ' <a class="read-more content-read-more" href="'. get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . '">' . __('[continued...]', 'generate') . '</a>';
}
```

That change will be live in the next version of WPSP as well: https://github.com/tomusborne/wp-show-posts/commit/4423b76a05fb5ffddba2a1a9748756c1c927f7dd

Hey Jon,

Thanks for the reply. There must be some sort of conflict with something. I’ve tried with your version of the plugin and added the filters to my functions but it still doesn’t return anything. Not sure what I’m missing!

Hi Clayton,

You might have some other plugin (or in your own functions.php) that is calling add_filter on the ‘the_content_more_link”. Try changing the priority in the add_filter call to be a larger number (say 99 instead of 16) and see if this solves the problem.

Also, make sure you’re using my version of the plugin. Look at 474 of wp-show-posts.php and make sure it looks like this:
```
<?php
	$content_more_link = apply_filters('wpsp_content_more_link', false, $settings );
        the_content($content_more_link);
?>
```
