Genesis Featured Posts, zero content and "…"

[CleanPageDom]

Hi there

Trying to display a list of Featured Posts using the widget. I want to show a CSS-ed "read more" button but no content.

I've selected "Show Content", set "Content Limit" to 0 and then added a custom "Read More…" text ("GET THE DEAL!").

But I'm still left with the "..." before the button, which usually comes at the end of the content excerpt. Is there a way to get rid of this? I'm trying to edit the featured-post-widget.php but can't see where the "..." is getting stuck in.

Any help would be great. Thanks
Dom

add this in your functions.php file

add_filter('get_the_content_more_link', 'custom_read_more_link');
add_filter('the_content_more_link', 'custom_read_more_link');
function custom_read_more_link( $more ) {
return '';
}

Hi there

Thanks for the help. This removes the button as well, though. Can I adapt that in some way to include a link to the relevant post? So, for example, the first on the list would be:

"Weekday Entry & Meal Deal £6
Get The Deal"

I just want to get rid of that initial "..." which I guess is added to the end of the excerpt.

Remove the previous one and try this new code

add_filter('get_the_content_more_link', 'custom_read_more_link');
add_filter('the_content_more_link', 'custom_read_more_link');
function custom_read_more_link( $more ) {
return '<a href="'.get_permalink().'">' . __('Get The Deal', 'child_theme')  . '</a>';
}
