Have you requested your free website audit yet?August 30, 2017 at 6:49 am #210885p297MemberHi,
I'm trying to edit the read more code that shows on a post excerpt to remove the ellipsis. It currently says '... [Read more...]' with the '[Read more...] a hyperlink (see included URL). I want it to just say '[Read more...]'.
I've tried 6 different variations of code that I've found on help docs and forums in the functions.php file but haven't gotten the results I wanted. 5 variations made no change and 1 broke the code.
1. No change
/** * Override the default string for automatic excerpts * * @param type $more * @return string */ function custom_excerpt_more($more) { return '';// return empty string } add_filter('excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more');
2. No change
// Add Read More Link to Excerpts add_filter('excerpt_more', 'get_read_more_link'); add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'get_read_more_link' ); function get_read_more_link() { return '... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '">[Read More]</a>'; }
3. No change
function replace_excerpt($content) { return str_replace('[...]', '<div class="more-link"><a href="'. get_permalink() .'">Continue Reading</a></div>', $content ); } add_filter('the_excerpt', 'replace_excerpt');
4. Broke the code - code same as in 3 with an addition to it suggested in the forum
function replace_excerpt($content) { return str_replace('[...]', '<div class="more-link"><a href="'. get_permalink() .'">Continue Reading</a></div>', $content ); } add_filter('the_excerpt', 'replace_excerpt'); <?php function replace_excerpt($content) { return str_replace('[…]', '... ', $content ); }?>
5. No change
// Changing excerpt more function new_excerpt_more($more) { global $post; remove_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more'); return ' <a>ID) . '">' . 'read more' . '</a>'; } add_filter('excerpt_more','new_excerpt_more'); add_filter('excerpt_more','__return_false');
6. No change - code snippet from last line in 5 after forum said 'if you just want to strip the ellipsis'
add_filter('excerpt_more','__return_false');
7. No change
function trim_excerpt($text) { return rtrim($text,'[...]'); } add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'trim_excerpt');
I've also tried looking in the archive.php, front-page.php, page_archive.php, single.php, functions.php, and even the styles.css files to try and find the code where I can customize the read more to remove the ellipsis - ... - but haven't found anything.
Please help!
