Notes

  • The Post Excerpt block didn’t behave the way I expected it to behave. It ignored the More block.
  • If you write an Excerpt in the Settings Excerpt panel there’s more chance of getting it to say what you want it to say.
  • You can’t use HTML though.
  • Toggle the Show link on new line setting to choose how the Read more… link appears.
  • Replace the ‘Add “read more” link text’ placeholder with the text you require.
  • This is an FSE block. Use it within Query Loop – core/query.
