[Resolved] Adding “read more” to excerpts only on blog page

[Ben]

Hi, I’m using this code to modify excerpts:

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

    if ( has_excerpt()   ) {
        $output = sprintf( '%1$s <p class="read-more-container"><a class="read-more button" href="%2$s">%3$s</a></p>',
            $excerpt,
            get_permalink(),
            __( 'Read more', 'generatepress' )
        );
    }
	
    return $output;
}

Is there a way to target this just on the blog page, eg
if ( has_excerpt() && is_front_page() )

?

Hi there,

The conditional tag depends on if you your blog page is the front page or not.

See the explanation here:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Thanks Leo, you’re right, it was is_home() I should have used.
Many thanks
Ben
