    I am using the Beautiful Pro theme and can not figure out how to add a "read more" link when using custom post excerpts.

    Does anyone have an idea of how to do this? I am using custom post excerpts so a more tag does is not an option here.

    Thanks in advance.

    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' );
