Seems to be same issue with template "Hako"

Hello Macjoomla,

It's actually done on purpose because there were too many people requesting about having the read more being placed too low. Hence, we have brought the read more up so that visitors could see the button

Hello Mark,

that is a pitty, i was just taking this template because of this feature. I like the line with all in on bottom of articles. I know, its never possible to make it right for every one, but one again, to change used behaviour again like with button to show on frontpage or not is overall not the best idea too! Maybe it would have been a better idea to add another template or let user decide in backend. However thank you for your answer. So how many votes would i need to make this unhappen?

Hello Macjoomla,

Yeah, we are always in a dilemma because in terms of UI, it seems best to have the read more aligned with the rest of the icons. As a matter of fact, we prefer that instead because it is more tidy. However, in terms of user experience, most of the customers who complained has their thoughts about it too because if it was placed at a lower position, then it's more difficult for people to see.

Having said that, adding settings would not really make sense because then, we end up having dozens of "Button appear on top / bottom / middle"

What you could do (which is pretty easy to achieve) is to create a template override for that theme file and place the read more button back to the line that it came from

P/S: Moving forward, we will not be changing the structure of the theme files until we hit 6.x

Hello Mark,

thank you for pointing to the overrides, i will take a look.

And big thank you for giving back the frontend toggle, didn't you? I noticed it just before some moments

Thank you and best regards, Macjoomla

Yes, because there were a lot of people requesting for that front end toggle so I guess this settings makes sense after all
