    I have a few problems setting up the look of blogposts.

    On my homepage I show 3 latest blogposts. I’m using the spa demo data. When I hover I get to see 2 boxes “view more” and “more details”. How do I change that? I just want to see “read more” and go to the blogpost when I click (no popup photo). I tried changing this in essential grid but it seems that the theme overrules the essential grid settings.

    I’m using the grid layout on my blog page. Under the picture the entire text is shown. How do I get the grid showing an excerpt?

    Hello,

    To remove one of those buttons you need edit the file content-grid.php in wp-content/themes/royal directory via FTP (line 61).
    To have excerpts shown you need use “Read more” tag in your posts:

    Hello,

    To change “more details” button in related post you need edit theme-functions.php file (line 2756) in wp-content/themes/royal/framework directory.
    The code in this file is also related to the buttons on the home page.

    Is it possible to show only 1-2 lines of text on the grid without using “Read more” tag?
    Just like under related posts.
