Replace "Excerpt More" function.

So one function in WordPress that operates very well is "the_excerpt". If you like the way it applies its own character limit but don't like what it adds at the end, this is the post for you! Let's change the excerpt more function!

So let's change the standard [...] of excerpt more and make it a link to the blog post.

First open your functions.php file and add this function

This function will allow you to add the same [...] from the original excerpt more function with a different content. You can put anything you like in that return.

Now let's call the function

This calls and executes your new function.

Have fun!
