Is there a way to, instead of opening the link in a new page, have the “Read More” link open the full post in a pop-up?

Hi Max,

Thank you for checking on this!

Unfortunately, clicking on the “Read More” button still expands the post on the page instead of opening it in the pop-up.

Is there a way to adjust this so that the “Read More” link also opens the post in the pop-up?

I appreciate your help! 😊

Hi Max,

Thank you for your support.

Here is the link to the page where the widget is installed: [https://nephrology.edu.au/](https://nephrology.edu.au/)

I found that the “Read More” link only expands posts when clicked directly on the text. If I click anywhere else near the “Read More” area, the full post opens in a pop-up as expected.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,  
Manish

</div>

We’ve added this code to the Custom CSS field on the Appearance tab of your widget’s settings:

```auto
[class*='CardContainer-sc'] [class*='Block__RegularBlock-sc'] [class*='Text__Container-sc'] [class*='Text__Control-sc'] {
  display: none;
}

[class*='CardContainer-sc'] [class*='Block__RegularBlock-sc'] [class*='Text__Container-sc']::after {
  content: 'Read more';
  rgb(17, 17, 17);
  opacity: 0.7;
  cursor: pointer;
  font-size: 16px;
}

[class*='CardContainer-sc'] [class*='Block__RegularBlock-sc'] [class*='Text__Container-sc']:hover::after {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

```

  

Please check your widget and let me know if you like the result 🙂
