How to Add a Read More Link when Session Content is Too Long

1. Backup the original files before making any changes.

2. Navigate to Appearance>>Editor and open the Schedule Page Template (template-schedule.php)

3. Look for the line (near line 80)

$content = get_the_content();

4. Add the following lines after the above line

$length = 20;
$shortened = implode(‘ ‘,array_slice(str_word_count($content,1),0,$length));
$content = $shortened.’…<br><a href=”‘ . get_permalink() . ‘”>Read more</a>’;

Here 20 is the number of words to show, you can change it to whatever number of words that you want.

5. Update the file
