   Hi, could anyone tell me how to remove the read more link from my post excerpts?

   //EXCERPT
   function excerpt_length( $length ) {
   	return 10;
   }
   add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'excerpt_length' );
   
   function continue_reading_link() {
   	return ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Read more <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) . '</a>';
   }
   
   function auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
   	return ' &hellip;' . continue_reading_link();
   }
   add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'auto_excerpt_more' );
   
   function custom_excerpt_more( $output ) {
   	if ( has_excerpt() && ! is_attachment() ) {
   		$output .= continue_reading_link();
   	}
   	return $output;
   }
   add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'custom_excerpt_more' );
   //EXCERPT

   Thanks.

   It says 'Read more' right there in your code. Just replace it by a space.

   If you want to remove the link entirely, replace this:
   

   function continue_reading_link() {
   	return ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Read more <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) . '</a>';
   }

   With this:
   

   function continue_reading_link() {
   	return '';
   }

   Hi,

   Im trying to do the exact same thing....

   Which file do I need to edit this in? I've had a look but can't see it in functions or post-template php, or have I just missed it?

   Thanks so much in advance,
