Hey Sevim, by default the recent posts element doesn't have an automatic read more button - if you would like me to add one it will require a mod to the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory. If I proceede with this you'll have to keep track of that mod in order have it persist through theme updates going forward - would you like to me apply the mod?
1. You'd need to modify the shortcode-processing.php file for this (which is located in the nectar/tinymce directory). Once in the file search for "recent posts" to end up at the right place and you can change the 'showposts' => 4, to be a new number
2. If you want to show the link post types, change this:
Hi there,
I can't see the More-Link, instead I see "...".
Could you help -
This is the "code" from my home-page:
[heading subtitle="Verbund sozial-kultureller Migrantenvereine DO e.V."] [/heading]
[divider line_type="Full Width Line" custom_height=""]
[recent_posts title_labels="true" category="aktuell"]
[divider line_type="No Line" custom_height=""]
[recent_projects project_style="3" category="aktuelle-projekte" heading="Aktuelle VMDO-Projekte/-Ereignisse" page_link_text="Alle VMDO-Projekte" page_link_url="http://vmdo.de/vmdo/projekte-vmdo/" number_to_display=""]
And: why is a post which is a Link not listed on the homepage (category="aktuell") - see screenshot.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Greets, Sevim
Hey Sevim!
Please try using the Visual Composer and add in the elements in there so that no shortcode attributes are missed.

Hi Tahir,
I've tried it, but there is no improvement -pls see attached file and this is teh code from the visual composer:
[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][heading]Verbund sozial-kultureller Migrantenvereine DO e.V.[/heading][recent_posts category="aktuell"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][recent_projects category="aktuelle-projekte" project_style="3" lightbox_only="true" heading="Aktuelle VMDO-Projekte/-Ereignisse" page_link_text="Alle" page_link_url="http://vmdo.de/vmdo/projekte-vmdo/" number_to_display="5"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Still there is't "Read More" and also the links to the details pages are only links to the images of the portfolio.
Unfortunatelly, I had go back to the shortcode version.
Any help is appreciated and 1 more question: is it a problem not to work work with the visual composer but with the short codes.
Cheers

OK, I understand. If it should behave as it is then it's ok. I thought, it was my fault.
Another issue with it, is it possible with the theme to show
- more then 4 recent posts from a certain category
- or at least to have the arrows as it is on the portfolio item on the home page.
And
- why isn't a recent post, which is a link post, shown on the home page.
Sorry, I have so many questions - thank you very much.
Sevim
Hey again!
1. You'd need to modify the shortcode-processing.php file for this (which is located in the nectar/tinymce directory). Once in the file search for "recent posts" to end up at the right place and you can change the 'showposts' => 4, to be a new number
2. If you want to show the link post types, change this:
$recentBlogPosts = array( 'showposts' => 4, 'category_name' => $category, 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1, 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'post_format', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => array('post-format-link','post-format-quote'), 'operator' => 'NOT IN' ) ) );to this:Cheers
