Can i put […] in the end of excerpts?

you need to add read more custom text for display […] , but sorry to say excerpts doesn’t has the custom read more text field on layout editor , you can use excerpts and read more merge to get your solution , please follow the link i have posted a solution

Hi ngrudev,

add following code before </body> tag ends in footer.php

<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(“.excerpt”).append(“…”);
});
</script>

Hi,

I used your suggestion and I have partial success. It’s partial because I cannot get [..] and excerpts merged.

WHere I am wrong? Here is all my css codes:

1. Title with link:
font-weight:bold;display:block;text-align:left;font-size:16px;text-decoration:none;padding:10px;padding-left:0px;text-transform: uppercase;margin-left:0px;

2. Post date:
margin:0px;padding-right:10px;font-size:13px;color:#C0C0C0;padding-left:0px;display:inline;text-align:left;float:left;clear:right;

3. Comments count:
margin:0px;padding:0px;font-size:13px;color: #ad8e00;font-weight:bold;padding-left:0px;display:inline;float:left;

4. Excerpt:
font-size:14px;padding:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;padding-top:15px;float:left;padding-bottom:15px;display:inline;clear:right

5. Read more text: […]
font-size:14px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;display:inline;float:left;clear:right

6. Read more text:
display:inline-block;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;border-radius:5px;border-color: #404040;color;#404040;font-size: 12px;font-weight: bold;margin: 5px 0;padding: 5px 22px;text-align: enter;text-decoration: none;

The results you can see here. The […] is bellow the excerpt. I need the “Read more” button to be centered.

Thank you,
