 * Hello Everyone!
 * I have an issue with this plugin when i am writing custom excerts.
 * The “Read more link”‘s html tag in custom excerpt
    `<p>***"Text of the excerpt"***
   </p <a href='***link of the post***' title='***Name of the post***'>Read more...
   </a></p>`
 * As you can see the “>” char is missing.
 * Please help me to solve this problem

 * I think i have solved the problem
    In my theme’s file called loop.php
 * The wrong code
 *     ```
       <p><?php echo $theme->shorten(get_the_excerpt(), 150,'...'); ?>
       <a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>' title='<?php the_title(); ?>'>Read more...</a></p>
       ```
   
 * I changed the paragraph tag ending position
 *     ```
       <p><?php echo $theme->shorten(get_the_excerpt(), 150,'...'); ?></p>
       <a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>' title='<?php the_title(); ?>'>Read more...</a>
       ```

 * Uh that was not the best solution. The “>” is sill missing when the plugin adds
   its own “read more” link
