Hi. In SP PB it is not possible. You should add intro text and read more in the standard editor. Then switch to the SP PB editor and save.

Hello Dave

Yes, exaclty what Pavel said. In SP Page Builder editor, there is no option. You need to set this on Joomla Editor.

Best regards

Hello Pavel and Ofi Khan, thanks. I have tried to add intro text and read more in standard editor, then switch to SPPB editor and save, however the intro text is not shown. I have created a very short video that shows what I am doing, is it correct or am I doing something wrong?

"Read more" can't never be inside the article. It is in the category blog. And it works as expected.

If you want to display "BEFORE READ MORE" text inside SP PB articles, you need to duplicate it there.

In Joomla editor you should add the intro text + "Read more" Button.

In the SP BP editor you should add intro text + full article.

I am not asking the "Read more" to be inside the article, I would like the "Intro Text" to appear inside the article.

Thanks Pavel.

In principle fine.

However I struggle to get the blog "Featured Image" properly included or completely ignored, when calling actual article.
This blog picture is nice for article scroller. Therefore I don't want to remove it from article.

System base setting "don't show" "Linked Intro Image" is ignored by Joomshaper.

Also tried this recommendation without success: https://www.joomshaper.com/forum/question/8483

In meantime I found an alternative solution.

Hello Johanna, may i ask, what way you are doing it now? It is something i was thinking about too…

Hi Mac,
It was some time ago that I applied changes. If I am not wrong, it was a combination of follow steps:

  1. I adapted base page layout configuration according to settings from the "shaper_kidzy" template.
  2. Custom CSS
    .com-content #sp-main-body {padding-top: 0px; }
    .view-article #sp-main-body {padding: 0px; }
    .article-details .article-full-image {display: none; }
