 * Hello, I have this code to generate the excerpts. It adds the link “Read More”
   under the text. I need to add the link “Read More” just next to the text. Please
   help
 * function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
    global $post; return $output . ‘ID).‘”
   > Read More…’; } add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘excerpt_read_more_link’);

 * I think this is close to what you want:
 *     ```
       function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
          global $post;
          $link = get_the_permalink($post);
          return $output . ' ' . $post->ID . " <a href='$link' >Read More...</a>";
       }
       add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');
       ```
