    Hi Guys

    Testing things at the moment on my site http://TheAgelessMan.com. I am using manual excerpts on the site and I added the following code in the functions.php to add the "read more" link at the bottom of the manual excerpt.

    But, I'd like to be able to change the color of the "read more" link. What can I add to the code below to do that or perhaps the addition is elsewhere? Cheers guys.

    function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
    global $post;
    return $output . 'ID) . '"> Read More...';
    }
    add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

    You'll need to edit your style.css file to change the color of that link.

    Best,
    Lauren
