  • You just need to add this code to functions.php file:

    function trim_excerpt($text)
{
return rtrim($text,'[...]');
}
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'trim_excerpt');

    Or if you want that […] to became just … You can add this:

    function trim_excerpt($text)
{
	return str_replace(' [...]', '...', $text);
}
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'trim_excerpt');

    Might be you want to change the dots with a read more link to the article. Than you can add this code:

    function trim_excerpt($text)
{
	return str_replace(' [...]', '<a href=' . get_permalink() . '>' . ' read more...</a>', $text);
}
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'trim_excerpt');

    Good luck with your theme!
