   Hello!

   I have problems modifying Read More for excerpt.
   I have following code to display posts:

   <?php
   $args = array( 'numberposts' => 4,'post_type' => 'offers' );
   $lastposts = get_posts( $args );
   foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
   <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php endforeach; ?>

   And I am trying to use this filter:
   

   function custom_excerpt_more( $more ) {
   	return '[.....]';
   }
   add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more' );

   But nothing happens :( Where's a problem?

   Have you enabled excerpt support for your "offers" custom post type?

   Yes, excerpt is displayed, but instead of "[.....]" I see "Continue reading →"

   What Theme are you using?

   Check functions.php to ensure that excerpt_more isn't already being filtered.

   In that case, it's easy to override, by passing a higher priority. I assume the Twenty Ten filter uses the default priority (10), so try passing a priority of 11:

   add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more', 11 );
