Can't get "Read more" to show in post archive

Hello,
I've been trying to get the "Read more" to show on my post archive page, but no matter what I try, it won't work.
In the Customizer > Layout > Blog settings I have:
Content type: Excerpt
Excerpt word count: 55
Read more label: Read more
Display read more as button is UNCHECKED...although I've tried with this CHECKED, but it does not show either.
I'm not using the "More" tag in my post.
I hope you can help...let me know what I'm doing wrong, please...thank you.
Hi there,
Try this: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/read-more-in-case-of-no-excerpt/#post-533006
Let me know.
Thanks, Leo. I'm not much of a coder, so can you tell me where I should add that code? Thank you.
One of these methods here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
Code Snippets is the easiest if you aren't using a child theme.
Leo...thanks for your help...I used the Code Snippets. That code gave me the "Read more" button...but how do I get just the simple "...Read more" text instead of the button? Is there a way to do that?
Hi Christian,
remove the class="button" from the PHP
David...thank you so much...that did the job. Thanks for helping a guy who knows nothing about PHP. :)
Hi Christian, well now you learnt a little more! Glad we could help.
Thanks again, David. :)
