    try:

    return $output . '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More of ' . get_the_title($post->ID) . '</a>';

    or:

    return $output . '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More of ' . $post->post_title . '</a>';

    untested, try:

    function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
 global $post;
 if($post->post_excerpt) : //provision for manual excerpt
   return $output . '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More of ' . $post->post_title . '</a>';
 else:
   return substr($output,0,-5).'<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More of ' . $post->post_title . '</a></p>';
 endif;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

    Another problem.
    If I leave the auto excerpt the read more link is following the excerpt.
    But if I write my own excerpt the read more link goes underneath the excerpt like if there’s a new line or paragraph?? weird
    can you help me again please

    this was the reason for the conditional section in the last suggested code – because a manual excerpt can have any kinds of html tags at the end, simply replacing the last characters (usually the closing paragraph tag </p>) won’t work.

    however, if you don’t have anything else than simple paragraphs or text at the end of your manual excerpt, simply try to work with this code:

    function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
 global $post;
   return substr($output,0,-5).'<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More of ' . $post->post_title . '</a></p>';
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');
