With the Divi blog<\/a> module you can activate a read more link for your blog posts, but unfortunately, there is no option to transform this in a read more button. In this tutorial, we are going to change the Divi read more text link into a button. I am also covering how you can do this with the pagination buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Read<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We are going to start with the read more button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divi Read more blog button<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, you need to enable the read more link in the Divi blog module. Open the blog module and under element, you can enable the show read more button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Activate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To transform the read more text link into a button you can place the following CSS in Divi > Theme Options > CSS or in you Divi child theme<\/a> CSS stylesheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/* Read more blog button *\/\n\n.more-link {\n    background-color: #1f568e;\n    display: inline-block !important;\n    color: #fff;\n    padding: 5px 15px;\n    margin-top: 15px;\n    text-transform: uppercase;\n}\n\n.more-link:hover {\n    background-color: #3683d2;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Refresh and clear your browser cache<\/a> and your read more link looks now like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Read<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To change the background color you can change the color code in the CSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pagination buttons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For the pagination buttons you can use the folllowing CSS code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/* Pagination buttons *\/\n\n.pagination .alignleft a,\n.pagination .alignright a {\n    background-color: #1f568e;\n    display: inline-block !important;\n    color: #fff;\n    padding: 5px 15px;\n    text-transform: uppercase;\n}\n\n.pagination .alignleft a:hover,\n.pagination .alignright a:hover {\n    background-color: #3683d2;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
And this is the end result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
