   I'm trying to override the 'read more' link in my child-theme functions.php. I understand you can't override the parent themes functions.php as such, but I have placed my own function for the 'excerpt_more' filter, but it's not replacing the parent theme's function that also uses 'excerpt_more'.

   Any ideas?
   Thanks

   Did you include it in a post theme setup function, like this?

   This is part of the code for this child theme that has custom post types, where I wanted to change the Continue Reading link to Read More, if you need the code in a theme you can get it here.

   Ahhh didn't know you could add a child them setup to override some of the parent functions. Thank you very much that is what I needed.
