[Resolved] Add “3 dots” at the end of excerpts with no link

[Mark]

Hi,

How can I add 3 dots at the end of all archive excerpts, but without a link after. I can only seem to get the three dots if I check “Display read more as button” and add text in the box above.

Not having the three dots means that sentences randomly end and I don’t think it’s good to look at.

I don’t seem to be able to apply a screenshot to show what I mean, but hopefully you get the gist.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Can you try adding this snippet?:

add_filter( 'wp_trim_excerpt', 'tu_excerpt_metabox_more' );
function tu_excerpt_metabox_more( $excerpt ) {
    $output = $output = $excerpt . '...';
    return $output;
}

That worked. Thanks 🙂

You’re welcome Mark! 🙂
