    Hi there,

    I did find code snippet to add to a theme to change the text, but I see that there is already a code in the functions.php of Monochrome Pro and I don't know if it's the right one or how to change it. This is the code already in there:

    // Customize content limit read more link markup.
    add_filter( 'get_the_content_limit', 'monochrome_content_limit_read_more_markup', 10, 3 );
    function monochrome_content_limit_read_more_markup( $output, $content, $link ) {
    
    	$output = sprintf( '<p>%s …</p><p class="more-link-wrap">%s</p>', $content, str_replace( '…', '', $link ) );
    
    	return $output;
    
    }
    

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks Victor, but since the code is already there, I wanted to know which part to change, because the code in the functions.php is not the same as the one you suggested.

    In your snippet, you probably have to change the $link variable before you redefine the $output. If you use a debug tool like Kint, you'll be able to view the $link markup so you can see what needs to be changed. It's impossible to know otherwise from just looking at the snippet.

    It's super easy to change: Just add this snippet to your function.php: https://my.studiopress.com/documentation/snippets/post-excerpts/modify-the-content-read-more-link/

    I started a new discussion specific to the problem I've encountered, which is this: The StudioPress snippet works great, but it doesn't change the 'continue reading' link for category and tag excerpts.

    How do I make it global for all post excerpts?

    Maybe someone will see this here instead of my new discussion. Thank you.
