Hey,

I am trying to add a “read more” link after the excerpt on my blog entry feature.

I’ve gotten an answer from other threads (including my own a few months ago) but none of the codes worked.

How can I add this successfully?

Thanks.

Hi There,

Thank you for writing in! Please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file:

// Adding Excerpt to Posts 
function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
   global $post;
   return $output . '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More</a>';
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

Let us know how this goes!

Hi there,

#1. Use the following CSS rule instead.

.blog .entry-content > p::after {
    content: " ...";
}

#2. Then update the following code in your functions.php file.

// Adding Excerpt to Posts 
function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
   global $post;
   return $output . '<a class="my-readmore-link" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More</a>';
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

Then add the following custom CSS rule to change the color of your read more link.

.my-readmore-link {
    color: red;
}

Hope that helps.
