"more" is not showing on archive when manual excerpt is set

Any hints on how to use the excerpt and still have a "more..." link?

I tried to add a filter like explained here https://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt.

It didn't work :-(

Hi there,

the Excerpt Word Count only applies to the auto generated excerpt. This article explains how to add the read more for manual excerpts:
