Found the solution, for those also struggling with this issue: http://wpbeaches.com/force-read-link-excerpts-wordpress/. Either of the snippets listed there work.

Hallelujah! Was racking my brain all night before this...

Thanks, Victor. Unfortunately, still not displaying.

I've also tried the following in functions.php, which also did not work:

add_filter('excerpt_more', 'get_read_more_link');
add_filter( 'get_the_content_more_link', 'get_read_more_link' );
function get_read_more_link() {
return '[Read more]';
}

Why is the above and Victor's code not working?

I do not want to choose Content Limit. How do I show 'Read More' with Excerpts?

this post got me really close but using this function, the shortcode executes BEFORE the intro text, whereas I want it to execute AFTER the intro text AND BEFORE the list of posts in the category. Or better, the shortcode should execute within the intro text wherever i've placed it.

doing a google search outside this forum, brad dalton wrote a post with 3 solutions to execute the shortcode within the intro text. however, this article requires a paid subscription to read the solution. since brad helps out here in this studiopress forum, i'm hoping brad can point me to a solution here.

i see that the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin allows shortcodes to be executed there, but I don't know where to put the shortcode that would make it execute AFTER the intro text BUT BEFORE the list of posts in a category page.

i've read multiple people requesting about this solution in these forums so a solution would be helpful to more than just me here.

please advise.

Did you get your answer? If not, in WP Admin, you go edit the category page and scroll to the Archive Intro Text field. That's where you enter your text.

sorry, meant shortcodes, not shortcakes... stupid autocorrect...

Thanks, carasmo, for the reply. Unfortunately, if this is to make shortcakes work in category intro texts, it didn't work.

bump. i am searching for a solution to this exact problem too.

[formacct23]

thanks, brad. i get the general idea in the link you gave, but not sure what php code should be used for featured image size. can you post an example?

also, if i chose CSS, can you post an example of what that would look like?

thanks

Brilliant!

Thanks so much, Ginger!

Hi Ginger,

Thanks for your reply. I've already looked at those snippets but it seems that it only tells me how to remove (delete), not how to relocate. I don't want to remove them completely, just move them to a different location.

I also have the Genesis Simple Edits but from what I can tell, it only lets me remove parts of the entry-meta (e.g., remove date or remove the "Leave a comment") or move it to the bottom of the post, but not move it to be under the title.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
Rob
