How do I add a read more button in Joomla?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:29 am

Adding a read more button in Joomla can be a little tricky, depending on your preferences. If you want to add a read more button to a specific article or content area, you’ll first need to find the right template. There are a few different templates that you can use, but the easiest way to find one is to search for ‘read more’ on Joomla’s main index page. Once you’ve found a suitable template, you’ll need to add the read more button to the content area. There are a few different ways to do this, but the easiest way is to use the Joomla menu system. To add a read more button to an article, you’ll first need to find the ‘Content’ menu item. Once you’ve found this menu item, you’ll need to click on it, and then on the ‘Articles’ sub-menu item.

PRO TIP: Adding a “read more” button in Joomla can be done by adding a plugin and some code to your articles. However, this can be risky as it can potentially break your site if not done correctly. We recommend that you hire a professional to do this for you.

From here, you’ll need to find the article that you want to add the read more button to, and then click on it. Next, you’ll need to click on the ‘Edit’ button, and then on the ‘Text’ tab. From here, you’ll need to add a ‘Read more’ button to the article, by filling in the appropriate text box. Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to save the article, and then hit the ‘Publish’ button. Finally, you’ll need to find the ‘Joomla menu system’ again, and hit the ‘Menus’ button. From here, you’ll need to hit the ‘Content’ sub-menu item, and then the ‘Read more’ button. Congratulations, you’ve now added a read more button to your Joomla article!.
