    Thank you for a great slider!! Im using PHP 7.1 and would like to add “Read More” below my excerpts and have it be linked to the post.

    Do you have the way to add this?

    Thanks so much!!

    I tried adding this to the functions-carousel-slider.php but it doesn’t work….any suggestions on how replace the ellipses with a read more link?

    apply_filters( ‘carousel-slider__post’, ‘sp_read_more_custom_excerpt’ );

    function sp_read_more_custom_excerpt( $text ) {
    if ( strpos( $text, ‘[…]’) ) {
    $_excerpt = str_replace( ‘[…]’, ‘[Read More…]…‘, $text );
    } else {
    $_excerpt = $text . ‘[Read More…]‘;
    }
    return $_excerpt;
    }

    There is no way without modifying source code.

    Go to plugin folder
    carousel-slider –> templates –> public

    and open post-carousel.php on text editor.

    go to line number 31. You will get the following line.

    $_excerpt = wp_trim_words( wp_strip_all_tags( $post->post_content ), '20', ' ...' );

    replace this line with the following line

    $_excerpt = wp_trim_words( wp_strip_all_tags( $post->post_content ), '20', ' [Read More]...' );

    I am working for version 2.0.0 for making more user friendly but I don’t know when I will able to complete it.

    Make sure after releasing each version, you change this line.

    Thanks
