    Easy Excerpt plugin has are problems with auto-generated excerpts on following causes:

    1. has_excerpt() always false with auto-generated excerpts.

    2. ‘excerpt_more’ filter don’t work when auto-generated excerpt length is obtained less than the specified in ‘Excerpt Length’ option, (and the ‘excerpt_more_link’ is missing at output).
    This can happen when, for example, post contains a ‘Read more’ insert and text before this insert are fewer than ‘Excerpt Length’.

    Solution I propose (and use):

    in the easy-excerpt.php replace the lines

    113-124

    function custom_auto_excerpt_more_link($more) {
    	$link = get_option( 'easy_excerpt_more_link' );
    	return $more. ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '" rel="nofollow">' . $link . '</a>';
    }
    
    function custom_manual_excerpt_more_link($more) {
    	$link = get_option( 'easy_excerpt_more_link' );
    	if( has_excerpt() ) {
    		$excerpt_more_link = ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '" rel="nofollow">' . $link . '</a>';
    	}
    	return $more. $excerpt_more_link;
    }

    with

    function custom_excerpt_more_link($more) {
    	$link = get_option( 'easy_excerpt_more_link' );
    	return $more. ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '" rel="nofollow">' . $link . '</a>';
    }

    and 30-31

    add_filter('excerpt_more', array( $this, 'custom_auto_excerpt_more_link' ) );
    add_filter('get_the_excerpt', array( $this, 'custom_manual_excerpt_more_link' ) );

    with

    $excerpt_more_link_filter = ( has_excerpt() ) ? 'excerpt_more' : 'get_the_excerpt';
    add_filter($excerpt_more_link_filter, array( $this, 'custom_excerpt_more_link' ) );

    Please advise if you find problems when using that solution.

    Welcome!

    Of course the solution I have proposed can only be used as temporary.

    Ideally, it would be to look in detail at this and make it into the plugin configuration.
