   Hi, A small issue with the new 2010 theme: How to rid of the "Continue reading-->" at the end of an excerpt in the new 2010 theme? (all excerpts I set up already have "Read more..." at the end!)

   Thanks for help.

   can you give your index.php file

   Here is the theme's index.php:

   <?php
   get_header(); ?>

   <div id="container">
   <div id="content" role="main">

   <?php
   /* Run the loop to output the posts.
   * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
   * called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.
   */
   get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );
   ?>
   </div><!-- #content -->
   </div><!-- #container -->

   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   your all posts are coming from get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' ); funtion. Remove the "Continue reading-->" text from <?php the_exceprt() ?>

   Thanks, chinmoy. Can you further deliberate: Remove the "Continue reading-->" text from which file or template? Where can I find that file/template? p.s. the index.php is the Main index template of the 2010 theme.

   Ok, I solve the problem: go to the template (functions.php) and delete (or mark out) a function called "twentyten-custom-excerpts-more()

   @fiatweb I have the reverse problem. I would like my entire post to be included on the category page. Is there a way to stop the theme from chopping off the post?

   I have instead shortened the excerpt length in twenty-ten them functions.php page so that "Continue..." will show up after 10 characters and thus be on all pages in the category instead of just some. I also added text to the category.php to instruct readers to click on page title to see complete listing (as my readers would possibly know this intuitively). My question is there a chance these changes will be overwritten when run upgrades? I'm using the default 'twenty-ten" theme that comes with 3.0 WordPress. Do I need to rename the theme to protect my changes?

   Here you can see that I changed Excerpt in the 2010 Function PHP from 40 to 900. That removed the Continue Reading Link because I don't have any posts over 900 words. I tried the other ideas posted here but they did not work for me. Here is how it looks:

   function twentyten_excerpt_length( $length ) {
   return 900;
   }
   add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'twentyten_excerpt_length' );

   /**
   * Returns a "Continue Reading" link for excerpts
