 * I have this code on two sites, exactly the same code and version of wordpress:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'modify_read_more_link' );
       function modify_read_more_link() {
       return '...<br/><br/><a class="back-to-profile" href="' . get_permalink() . '">Full Bio</a>';
       }
       ```
   
 * It works on one and not the other. Any thoughts?

 * Try this one may be it will work
 *     ```
       function et_excerpt_more($more) {
           global $post;
       return '...<br/><br/><a class="back-to-profile" href="' . get_permalink() . '">Full Bio</a>';
       }
       add_filter('excerpt_more', 'et_excerpt_more');
       ```
