Sorry can’t do, because I still work on localhost (not live yet). I included this fact in my initial post here 🙂

Please refer directly to post #1151028.

All I need is … (triple dot) at the end of excerpt (in the same line, without space, just as it was in default excerpt).

P.S. Please don’t mind the [ . . . ] part in my code, that was just my failed experiment to test where dots will land.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi There,

Thank you for the clarification. Please update this line of code:
$excerpt_end = '<p class="read_more_alternative"> [&emsp;. . .&emsp;] </p> <p class="read_more_text"> To read more, click the Featured Image or Post Title </p>';

To this:
$excerpt_end = '<span class="read_more_alternative"> [&emsp;. . .&emsp;] </span> <p class="read_more_text"> To read more, click the Featured Image or Post Title </p>';

Paragraph tag is a block element that’s why it is displaying as new line and not right after the excerpt end. Using span tag instead will achieve what you want. See attached screenshot when I test the code.

Hope this helps.

Sadly Your change didn’t do anything at all, but out of a wild guess (or maybe I’m starting to finally learn something from You guys, who knows :P) I managed to make such change (to my code from post #1151028):

if ($count >= $excerpt_word_count && preg_match('/[\,\;\?\.\!]\s*$/uS', $token)) {
                 // Limit reached, continue until , ; ? . or ! occur at the end
                        $excerptOutput .= trim($token);

			$excerptOutput .= '...'; // THIS IS MY NEW LINE !!!

                        break;
                    }

…does the job. Just tell me if this is correct and won’t explode 🙂

Thanks.

Glad you were able to figure it out. Your solution is fine and does the job.

Cheers!
