    Hello!

    I have problems modifying Read More for excerpt.
    I have following code to display posts:

    <?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 4,'post_type' => 'offers' );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

    And I am trying to use this filter:

    function custom_excerpt_more( $more ) {
	return '[.....]';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more' );

    But nothing happens ?? Where’s a problem?

  • Have you enabled excerpt support for your “offers” custom post type?

    Yes, excerpt is displayed, but instead of “[…..]” I see “Continue reading →”

    What Theme are you using?

    Check functions.php to ensure that excerpt_more isn’t already being filtered.

    thank you Chip! I was using TwentyTen theme and this filter was already used ?? so lame..

    In that case, it’s easy to override, by passing a higher priority. I assume the Twenty Ten filter uses the default priority (10), so try passing a priority of 11:

    add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more', 11 );
