Hi lennart,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I tested the following code and it works fine:

// Excerpt More String
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_excerpt_string' ) ) :
  function x_excerpt_string( $more ) {
    
    $stack = x_get_stack();

    if ( $stack == 'integrity' ) {
      return ' ... <div><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a></div>';
    } else if ( $stack == 'renew' ) {
      return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
    } else if ( $stack == 'icon' ) {
      return ' ...';
    } else if ( $stack == 'ethos' ) {
       return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';

    }

  }
  add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'x_excerpt_string' );
endif;

Make sure you’re adding it in the child theme’s functions.php file. Also make sure the EXCERPT LENGTH is set correctly under Theme Options > Blog > Content (see screenshot)

You can adjust the value as per your need. When i test it in my local setup i see the Read More button (see screenshot)

Hope this helps!

Hi again,

Thank you for the screenshots. In your screenshots I see the code is displaying above your site instead of being executed (see screenshot)

This usually happens when you add the PHP code outside the <?php ?> tags. PHP codes should be in inside <?php and ?>.. Make sure you’ve added the code correctly in the child theme functions.php file.

Thanks!
