read more link on excerpt

[gswartz]

Is it possible to have the read more link appear when you have Genesis Settings>Content Archives set to Display post excerpts? I've added the following code to my functions file but the read more link doesn't show up. From what I've found here and through google it sounds like the read more link doesn't show up unless you have it set to Display post content with a limited number of characters. Is that correct and if so, is there anyway to still make it show up (hacking a function somewhere)? Thanks.

Woops, I forgot to add the code.

add_filter(‘excerpt_more’, ‘get_read_more_link’);
add_filter( ‘the_content_more_link’, ‘get_read_more_link’ );
function get_read_more_link() {
  return '…&nbsp;<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">Read More…</a>';
}

try this

function custom_excerpt_more( $more ) {
	return '...<a href="'.get_permalink().'">read more</a>';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more' );

Thank you but nothing has changed. Do I need to do something with enabling some type of theme support?

[Genesis Developer]

are you added the code in functions.php file?

The last snippet in this post works as long as your Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives are set to Display Post Excerpts http://wpsites.net/web-design/move-the-read-more-link-position-to-the-next-line/

@braddalton, that's what I have set.

@gswartz -- are you using custom post excerpts? I was, and similarly found these solutions were not working.

I posted this in another Studiopress thread after it solved it:

This is an old question, but I was looking for a solution as well and no one has seemed to answer it properly here on the forums.

The issue is with the custom post excerpts. These solutions don't work for it in my experience.

This however solved it, courtesy of WPBeaches. Just change the themeprefix and adjust the CSS using the "more-link" class.

//Read More Button For Excerpt
function themeprefix_excerpt_read_more_link( $output ) {
	global $post;
	return $output . ' <a href="' . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . '" class="more-link" title="Read More">Read More</a>';
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'themeprefix_excerpt_read_more_link' );
