JO Read More is a lightweight Joomla content plugin designed to automatically insert a Read More break into articles displayed in category blog layouts. Instead of manually adding a readmore tag to each article, the plugin applies it automatically based on your configuration, ensuring consistent content truncation across blog-style listings.
This plugin is ideal for blogs, news portals, and content-heavy websites that rely on category blog views and want a clean, uniform presentation of article excerpts. By automating the readmore behavior, JO Read More saves time, reduces manual effort, and helps maintain a structured and user-friendly layout.
Please note that this plugin operates only within category blog layouts and is not intended for adding a Read More button to individual, standalone articles.
