Add post title to Read more link on Archive pages

Hi Klaus,

One approach is through a PHP snippet like this:

add_filter('generate_excerpt_more_output', function($output){
	return $output . ' ' . get_the_title();
}, 10);

This appends the title to the read more button.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Fernando, this now shows the read more label as follows:

Read: Title of First Post

How do I make it so that the link is extended to the post title?

Read: Title of First Post

Hi there,

try this snippet instead:

add_filter('generate_excerpt_more_output', function($output){
	return sprintf(
        ' ... <a title="%1$s" class="read-more" href="%2$s" aria-label="%4$s">%3$s %1$s</a>',
        the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ),
        esc_url( get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) ),
        __( 'Read ', 'generatepress' ),
        sprintf(
            /* translators: Aria-label describing the read more button */
            _x( 'More on %s', 'more on post title', 'generatepress' ),
            the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' )
        )
    );
}, 10); 

Great, this worked.

Thanks David :)
