Change content of excerpt-dash from “-” to “:”

I have resolved the problem by using code found on https://blog.escapecreative.com/how-to-replace-text-with-css/

.excerpt-dash {
visibility: hidden;
position: relative;
}

.excerpt-dash:after {
visibility: visible;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
content: ” : “;
}

Thanks

Thank you Sachin, I used this code to change the arrow after Read more to a ?-sign.
Only issue now is that this falls outside of the hyperlink.
Any more ideas?
Regards and thanks, Coen

Can you share the link to the website/blog or send me a screenshot? This will help me understand the problem.

Thanks

Hi Sachin,

It concerns the page https://www.ammoliteglassart.nl/nl/alle-berichten/: “Lees verder ?”.
I’m mistaken: the ?-sign is still part of the hyperlink, but not underlined any more at hover.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards, Coen

Hi Coen,

I guess that you have defined “text-declaration” as “underline” in your code when you are doing “hover”.

Try to add this

.meta-nav:hover::after{
   text-decoration: underline;
}

Thanks

Sachin

Hi Sachin,

You’re right about the underlining. Your code works fine for the ?-sign when hovering it, while I was wondering whether the complete link “Lees verder ?” could be underlined when hovering (some part of) it. You can see it now on my page (press Ctrl-F5).
Besides that, the code seems to work fine for Chrome, not for IE.
Perhaps better leave it as it was …
Or can possibly the plugin be extended with some parameter for this part of Read more?
Many thanks so far! Greetings, Coen

In the end I did it with the second code from your previous link:

.display-posts-listing span.meta-nav {
	display: none;
}

.display-posts-listing a.more-link:after {
	content: "?";
}

Thanks again!

That’s great :-). Glad that I could help you in some small way.
