    I have three posts that I’m populating the Featured Slider with on the front page. I have created excerpts for them and also a “learn more” button (as in your demo). However, the learn more button only appears on the post page and not on the front page slider.

    I have created the excerpt and the button by going to the post edit page, down at the bottom where it says Helena Options, I select Header Featured Image options. From there I am able to enter a manual excerpt, plus the button attributes.

    The problem is two-fold:

    1) I don’t need the button and excerpt to display on the actual post page. It says “read more” and if a person clicks on it from the post page, it simply reloads the same post page. So it should not appear on the post page itself.

    2) I do need it to appear on the Featured Slider at the top of the home page. That is where it would be most helpful to have a “read more” button that takes you to the corresponding post page. However, it does not appear on the home page. Only the excerpt appears.

    I would appreciate your help! Sorry, but the site is in production and not live, or I’d give you the URL.

    Hi @F,

    It is pretty difficult to understand the issue without your site url.

    The button needs not to be added on the page/post. It should appear once you select Show Content option in Featured slider to excerpt.

    I have no idea by what you mean that slider does not appear but excerpt does.

    We can move the slider to top of homepage, however, for that I will need to check your site url once.

    Let me know when it will be available and I can help you further.

    Regards,
    Pratik

    Hi Pratik,

    I understand. I may have to wait until the site is live to figure out a few issues.

    However, when I go to Appearance > Customize > Featured Slider there is no option that says Excerpt or Show Content. All that is available is as follows: Enable Slider; Transition Effect; Transition Delay; Transition Length; Image Loader; Slider Type; No of Slides; and Select Categories. There is nothing there that addresses excerpts.

    Thanks!

    Hi @F,

    Ah, sorry, I mixed up Featured Content and Featured Slider. The Slider takes Excerpt by default.

    Hi Pratik,

    I’ve created a demo site so you can see the issue I’m trying to resolve:

    https://sfurbanfarm.com/

    If you look at the Featured Slider at the top of the homepage, you will see that the excerpt appears but not the button that says Continue Reading. In the Helena Pro demo, the Featured Slider shows the excerpt plus the linked button. How do I achieve this for posts that are on the Featured Slider?

    Thanks!

    There is a bug in the theme. I have fixed the bug and sent it for update. It will be available to you soon.
