    On the linked page, you can see that every excerpt ends with "[…]", but for the life of me, I can't find it anywhere in the code.

    On the same site's home page, featured images get the correct "Read more" ending, hyperlinked to the correct post.

    I've tried using filters for more link text, but they only affect the home page 🙁

    Any ideas?

    Depends on whether you choose the excerpt or content limit using the Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives.

    You can also modify it using PHP code. http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/post-excerpts/#content-more-link

    The content archives setting is set to "Display post excerpts". I've already tried the PHP code and it worked great on the output of the Featured Posts widget, but not on archive pages.

    I've now switched to displaying 300 characters from the post content and filters work well in this setting, so I'm going to keep it, but if anyone knows the answer to my original problem, please tell me, in case the client wants to go back...
