   So... this is weird. Installed the plugin - love it, for the most part - to get some of my html tags from posts passed to the excerpt.

   But then, I realized that the resulting generated excerpt listing has the ellipsis/'read more' link at the *front* of the displayed text... rather than at the end. Sort of like this:

   ...Read More... Here's the very beginning of the post content, followed by more and more and more until it is cut off by the Advanced Excerpt length

   rather than:

   Here's the very beginning of the post content, followed by more and more and more until it is cut off by the Advanced Excerpt length...Read More...

   I've been digging through the forums and Google, and haven't found anyone else mentioning running into this.... What could I be doing wrong?

   I'm having the same problem since the update to WordPress 3.3.1 (updated straight from 3.2, skipped 3.3).
   I discovered that links really mess the read more logic up, and the read more appears after every link (I activated links for the excerpt, that'ts waht I'm using this plugin for)

   Any solutions out there?

   The plugin tries to place the link inline with the text. This usually works well, but apparently not all the time.

   It would be very helpful if you could post HTML source code of the generated excerpt and the original post (at least the part that is included in the excerpt), so I can try to reproduce the problem and hopefully fix it.

   Thanks in advance!

   hi,

   sorry for the late reply, I was traveling.
   here is the sourcecode from the website, with the wrong placed "read more" link (in this case "weiter...")

   <p>Mein spiritueller Lieblingslehrer <a title="Leben im Jetzt, aber wie?" href="http://www.newslichter.de/2011/05/leben-im-jetzt-aber-wie/" target="_blank">Eckhart Tolle <a href="http://www.newslichter.de/2012/01/eckhart-tolles-uncourse-online/" class="read_more">(weiter…)</a></a> hat mit UnCourse eine Online-Tool entwickelt, um die Integration von seinen Lehren ins Leben zu erleichtern. Der UnKurs ist kostenlos und jeder kann nach einer Registrierung teilnehmen. Warum ein so genannter “Uncourse “? Er wird</p>

   The excerpt is being generated out of this code, which comes from the wordpress post editor:
   Mein spiritueller Lieblingslehrer <a title="Leben im Jetzt, aber wie?" href="http://www.newslichter.de/2011/05/leben-im-jetzt-aber-wie/" target="_blank">Eckhart Tolle</a> hat mit UnCourse eine Online-Tool entwickelt, um die Integration von seinen Lehren ins Leben zu erleichtern. Der UnKurs ist kostenlos und jeder kann nach einer Registrierung teilnehmen. Warum ein so genannter "Uncourse "? Er wird nicht als Mittel zum Zweck angeboten, sondern als Erinnerung. <!--more-->Es soll helfen, die wahre Quelle des Friedens und der Freiheit in sich selbst zu entdecken und zu halten. Zitat: "Folgen Deiner Intuition und lassen ihn navigieren zu einem Kurs auf Deinem Weg,  der Dich am besten unterstützt."

   - it worked fine before the wordpress update!

   Thanks,
   Philipp
