try placing this filter in your theme’s functions.php
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
global $post;
return '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">More...</a>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');
Thanks but that didn’t work.

Your theme (or a plugin) may be overriding your filter. Try increasing the priority like this:
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more',11);
Or like this:
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more',20);
And if that doesn’t work try:
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more',100);
Hi,
Should I place the code on my parent theme’s functions.php or the child theme’s?

in the child theme’s functions.php
Thanks but that didn’t work. I did also try increasing the priority.

What theme are you working with?
Hopefully someone more familiar with your theme and issue can come alog and guide you.
I’m using the Twenty Eleven child theme.

– You might try the codex about the ‘read more’ link.

Ok, thanks. I’ll take a look.
the only place where the default Twenty Eleven outputs the excerpt, is in search results.
for all other locations, edit content.php in your child theme and find:
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyeleven' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
change the text there.
for example to:
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content( 'More' ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyeleven' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
(you might need to do the same in content-aside.php, content-image.php, content-link.php, content-quote.php, and content-status.php)
Just add the line Where ever you need it. i.e in LOOP.php or in Content.php
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="readmore">Read More</a>
Thanks,
