Hello,

Hey Jack,

Out of the box, there is a Read More link.

The will show up if content content gets cut off by the Excerpt Length.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply,

But this doesn’t work if you manually add the excerpt using the excerpt box. Also adding a read more tag doesn’t seem to do the trick either .

Hi There,

To show the read more button in the manually excerpt, please add the following code under functions.php file locates in your child theme:

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
    return '';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more', 21 );

function the_excerpt_more_link( $excerpt ){
    $post = get_post();
    $excerpt .= ' <a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read More</a>.';
    return $excerpt;
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'the_excerpt_more_link', 21 );

Hope it helps :slight_smile:
