    Hello,
    I want to be able to change the words from Continue Reading to a customizable to whatever words I want to place in the text and how do you change the color right now it is blue but I want to change it to red?

    Thank you so much,
    Breck

    try adding this to your theme’s functions.php:

    function change_excerpt_more(){
	   function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
	        return '<span class="read-more"> <a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read more</a> </span>';
	   }
	   add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');
	}
	add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'change_excerpt_more' );
