I am using the following code to generate a view shown in the screenshot.

<h2>About [wpv-post-title item="@company-job.parent"]</h2>
[wpv-post-excerpt length="50" count="word" more="..." item="@company-job.parent"]
[wpv-post-read-more item="@company-job.parent"]

Well the shortcodes are generating their expected results, but the problem is I want the 'Read more' link text shown in the screenshot in the same line of the paragraph where it ends.
Hope I could explain the point. Please help.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please share the problem URL where I can see the "Read More" link so I can check the HTML structure added to page source and guide you accordingly.

I do not know why you added the "Read More" link using the shortcode [wpv-post-read-more] as [wpv-post-excerpt] shortcode already offers the way to display read more link:

What if you try to use the following way:

[wpv-post-excerpt length="50" count="word" more="<a href="[wpv-post-url item='@company-job.parent']"> Read More </a>" item="@company-job.parent"]

Even I have tried what you have suggested but results are not what we are expecting. Interesting the 'Read More' button is not working or working in a wrong way (wrong url). I have updated the page with your code. Please have a look at the page.

Can you please send me access details?

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can you please check now. I've adjust the code as given under:

[wpv-post-excerpt length="50" count="word" more="<a href='[wpv-post-url item='@company-job.parent']'> Read More </a>" item="@company-job.parent"]

I can see now it displays the correct "Read More" link - can you please confirm.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
