[Resolved] Like to have no ellipse in lieu of the “Read More”

[Ken]

Hi there! I wanted to get rid of the ‘read more” because I’m using CPT and every CPT has ‘nothing’, i.e., no “read more’ nor ‘ellipses’.

I found in your support that I could delete “read more” and then add a space. However, that created an ellipse for my non-CPT posts.
Seriously, it’s no biggie, I can live with the ellipses.

I’m just curious if there is a way to get rid of the ellipse for my non-CPT post as well?

Thank you, standing by.

Hmmm, looks like the link to the image is broken.
I’ll try again. One of these should do it.

Hi there,

can you try adding this CSS?

.entry-summary {
    display: none;
}

If it doesn’t work for you, can you link us to a sample page in question? So we can inspect the site. 😀

Hi Elvin,
I can’t use the code you gave me because in addition to deleting the ‘ellipse” (…) it also deletes the excerpt.

I was hoping to keep the excerpt, without the ‘read more’ and ‘ellipse’. So I only have the excerpt.

Try the PHP snippet Tom provided here.

Here’s how to add PHP – https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Hi I did some Google Research and found this:

add_filter('excerpt_more', 'change_excerpt_more');
function change_excerpt_more($more){
  return '';
}

I added to the bottom of my Child functions.php.

It didn’t work so I deleted it from the Child functions.php

I’m sending the page link and easy login if you need to get access to my dashboard.

I tried David’s first one-> crashed the site.
the second one didn’t work.
Do you have any more suggestions?

Hey Elvin!
The problem is solved!
First: I used the following code:

add_filter('excerpt_more', 'change_excerpt_more', 10, 1);
function change_excerpt_more($more){
  return '';
}

Note: added the 10 to give it more priority heres the link to the page I found this:
After I pasted to the Child functions.php I was still seeing the ellipses.

Next: Went back to WP Customizer and in the “Read More” box, I deleted the ‘space” I previously typed before contacting you folks.
-> Purged the cache and a-batta-bing-batta–boom the ellipses are gone. \(*<>*)/

Happy Days! Still, I want to thank you for your help. I always believe that support is a ‘team effort’ you good folks and myself doing whatever we can to solve the problem. Also, I hope this can be an answer to anyone else having troubles removing the ellipses.

I’m marking this topic as resolved. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Thanks again Elvin.
