I can't figure out how to display the "Read More" button in the product DIVs on the front end. "Read More" is enabled in the main configuration and I have also added the "Read More" dividers in the product descriptions. Any suggestions?

There is no button read more in HikaShop. When you add the divider in the product description, it cuts the description on the listings but since you already have a link on the product name and on the product image we didn't add an additional button to it. If you want to add one, you will have to edit the file listing_img_desc of the view product via the menu Display->Views and add it yourself.

Something like this:
echo $this->cart->displayButton('Read more','read_more',$this->params,$link,'window.location=\''.$link.'\';return false;');

after the code:
echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description);

Thanks a lot, it's working fine for me as well. Only thing is, I want it to be just a simple textlink not a button. What should the syntax look like?

You should use:

echo '<a href="'.$link;.'">Read more</a>';

The code I was using looked like this:

<?php
echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description);
echo $this->cart->displayButton('Read More','read_more',$this->params,$link,'window.location=\''.$link.'\';return false;');
?>


According to your answer I changed the code into:

<?php
echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description);
echo '<a href="<'.$link;.'">Read more</a>';
?>


For some reason it's not working.

What do you mean by it's not working ?
Note that you don't have the same code as I posted. You have a < in the link URL.

To be honest; I don't see any difference between the codes? All I did was copy-paste.

My mistake, I had it as well in my code. It should be:
echo '<a href="'.$link.'">Read more</a>';
not:
echo '<a href="<'.$link;.'">Read more</a>';

So the code I'm using right now is

echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description);
echo '<a href="'.$link;.'">Read more</a>';

For some reason my products listing gives a blanc page only showing the category-title. Does this mean there is a problem with some plug-in or is it something else? I've de-activated all of the content plug-ins, but this didn't change anything.

The problem comes from the code.

I really wasn't fresh when in wrote it. It should be:
echo '<a href="'.$link.'">Read more</a>';

The method above works with all the versions. There is no other line. If you don't see it, it's because you didn't do the modification properly.

the <hr id="system-readmore" /> is the correct "Read More code" in the product description?

That code just make a separation for the listing description.
If you also want a read more link, you need to add also the PHP code below in the file listing_img_desc of the view product via the menu Display->Views :
echo '<a href="'.$link.'">Read more</a>';
after the line:
echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description);
