Genesis Featured Posts Plugin "More Text"

[[email protected]]

Using the Genesis Featured Posts Plugin I've set my "More text" to say something, but the widget ignores it and uses the default more text defined in my theme's functions file. How can I have the plugin display the more text I want for this widget?

This is the code I have in my functions file, but I want this to be used on posts, not in this widget.

//* Modify the Excerpt read more link
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more_cat');
function new_excerpt_more_cat($more) {

	return '... <a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '">Keep Reading</a>';

}

You would need to wrap the code in an appropriate WordPress conditional. https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

For example, assuming your widget displays on the home page, you can adjust the code like this:

//* Modify the Excerpt read more link
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more_cat');
function new_excerpt_more_cat($more) {
	if ( ! ( is_front_page() || is_home() ) ) {
		$more = '... <a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '">Keep Reading</a>';
	}

	return $more;
}
