[Resolved] Read more in exceprt shortcode doesn’t link to the page

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: The "read more" text in the wpv-post-excerpt shortcode does not link to the post.

Solution: Add a link to the "more" attribute manually:

[wpv-post-excerpt length='55' count='word' more='<a href="[wpv-post-url]">Lire la suite...</a>']

Hello,
I use this shortcode [wpv-post-excerpt length='55' count='word' more='Lire la suite...'] in order to display the beginning of a post, but the "Lire la suite..." is not a "a href". It's simple plain text.
Thank you.

Hi it's not built-in to the wpv-post-excerpt shortcode, but you can add a link to the "more" attribute manually:

[wpv-post-excerpt length='55' count='word' more='<a href="[wpv-post-url]">Lire la suite...</a>']
