 * Using a child theme, what’s the sensible way to change the custom more-link text
   set in functions.php?

 * Hi gulliver,
 * Add the following code to the child themes functions.php file:
 *     ```
       // Child theme custom more-link text
       remove_filter('the_content_more_link', 'hemingway_custom_more_link');
       add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'hemingway_child_custom_more_link', 10, 2 );
   
       function hemingway_child_custom_more_link( $more_link, $more_link_text ) {
       	return str_replace( $more_link_text, __('TEXT', 'hemingway'), $more_link );
       }
       ```
