Hello,

01.Sorry, but there is no option in Theme Settings available for that. It requires customizations and this is beyond our limitations and support policy. You need to find a third party plugin to achieve more functionality that best suits you.

02. Sorry, this is a possible way you can do it without additional customization. You can create an HTML block and add it into the category Description. You can add a button for “read more”. https://xtemos.com/docs/woodmart/html-blocks-2/#cat_att_tag
Please follow this:

Best Regards.
