Clickable “Read More”

    Great plugin. Now how do we make the “Signs after excerpt” (which in my case is a “Read More” text) into a link to the post? This is usually the expected behaviour when you put signs or characters after an excerpt.
    Thanks

    These signs are not intended as a “Read more” link but as a “fade out” of the excerpt.

    Ok thanks. For those interested, I did a quick and very rough edit of includes/widget.php to add a Read More link. Lines 131/137:

    if ( $show_excerpt ) : 

	?><div class="rpwwt-post-excerpt"><?php echo $this->get_the_trimmed_excerpt(  $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more, $ignore_excerpt  ); ?>
		<br /><a class="read-more" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more</a>
	</div>
<?php endif;

    Obviously this will be overwritten on the next plugin update. If I can put in a feature request for adding this field in the next update Martin, I think a lot of people would find it useful.
