Hi,

Is there any possibility, to style a "Continue reading" or similar link?
For example, I would like to style it as a button, but do not see any option to do this.
It is only possible, to change properties for the links in post in general.

I've found custom CSS solution only. For example for WP add the code like this to Settings > Additional CSS:

bd-postexcerpt-2 a, .bd-postexcerpt-2 a:visited, .bd-postexcerpt-2 a:hover, .bd-postexcerpt-2 a:active { background: #292929; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #454545 0, #0A0A0A 100%) no-repeat; background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #454545 0, #0A0A0A 100%) no-repeat; background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #454545 0, #0A0A0A 100%) no-repeat; background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #454545 0, #0A0A0A 100%) no-repeat; -svg-background: linear-gradient(top, #454545 0, #0A0A0A 100%) no-repeat; background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #454545 0, #0A0A0A 100%) no-repeat; }

It creates the background for the link.
However I havent' found how to do it in Designer, the link control seems does not have Shape, Background and other option settings.

Hello,

Thanks but for me the code doesn't change the link to a button (actually, nothing happens..). Am I missing anything?
From another hand, giving button styles optionally to the Readmores - can you please consider adding this as a possible Wish?

There's another way to design Read More as button. Create button design under Default Styles
After that select the text which you'd like to design like a button and apply 'Edit button' content menu:
