Need it to link?

If you are using the widget there is a radio button to choose ‘Show As’ and choose excerpt. If you want to customize the link check out:

I do wish to make the link go to a different page all together, or at the very least to the testimonial link.
the codex says to add the following to the functions.php file of the theme.
I have tried this and did not get the […] to link anywhere
function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return ‘[…..]’;
}
add_filter(‘excerpt_more’, ‘new_excerpt_more’);
