Excerpt Limit & Read More button Not Working

Hi Alirio,

Could you go to the post editor and check if you are using custom excerpt?

Let me know :)

Oh I see. Yes, I am. I just removed the custom excerpt and the Read more button appeared.

How can I insert a button with a custom excerpt?

Thank you, Ying.

You can try this PHP snippet to force the Read more button to appear with a custom excerpt.

Perfect. Thank you!!! I also added a class to it.

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

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

    return $output;
}

Nice!

You are welcome :)
