Add "…" to the_excerpt in a child theme

what theme are you working with?

does the parent theme use any filter on ‘the_excerpt’?

I’m using ImagPress Theme and i can find only length filter but the theme has a lot of features and maybe I’m missing something…

You should contact a theme author

I found this in the parent theme :
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

is it the problem ?

Hello again,

So I contacted the author and he told me to edit filters.php (in parent theme) with this :

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
    return '...';
}

and it’s working ! But… I don’t want to edit my parent theme because I want to be able to update it. So I asked, how can I do it in my child theme ? And He told me to add :

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

But this is not working, so back to square one…

If someone has any idea.
