'read more' link not displayed after excerpt

Add the following to the functions.php of child theme

function child_excerpt_more( $more ) {
	return ' <a class="read-more" href="'. get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . '">Read More</a>';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'child_excerpt_more' );

Brilliant, worked perfectly! Thanks.

Thanks! This worked great for me as well!

Hi @bravokeyl

To show only excerpt, I replace the_content with the_excerpt in my child theme content.php file.

But it doesn’t show “Read more” when I try to apply your code in my child theme functions.php file. Any thought of it?

Regards,
Joseph

can you give me the site url…

Also it is good to open a new post..rather than posting here.

Hello Bravokeyl,
I don’t why these posted solutions rarely work for me. ?? I added your code to functions.php in my childtheme… but the excerpts keep on showing […] without a link (and without any error message…)
Here is my functions.php:

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
 register_sidebar( array(
  'name' => __( 'First Footer Widget Area', 'twentyfourteen' ),
  'id' => 'sidebar-4',
  'description' => __( 'First footer widget area', 'twentyfourteen' ),
  'before_widget' => '<div class="textwidget">',
  'after_widget' => '</div>',
  'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
  'after_title' => '</h3>',
 ) );
 // Area 6, located in the footer. Empty by default.
 register_sidebar( array(
  'name' => __( 'Second Footer Widget Area', 'twentyfourteen' ),
  'id' => 'sidebar-5',
  'description' => __( 'Second footer widget area', 'twentyfourteen' ),
  'before_widget' => '<div class="textwidget">',
  'after_widget' => '</div>',
  'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
  'after_title' => '</h3>',
 ) );
 // Area 7, located in the footer. Empty by default.
 register_sidebar( array(
  'name' => __( 'Third Footer Widget Area', 'twentyfourteen' ),
  'id' => 'sidebar-6',
  'description' => __( 'The third footer widget area',  'twentyfourteen' ),
  'before_widget' => '<div class="textwidget">',
  'after_widget' => '</div>',
  'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
  'after_title' => '</h3>',
 ) );
 // Area 8, located in the footer. Empty by default.
 register_sidebar( array(
  'name' => __( 'Fourth Footer Widget Area', 'twentyfourteen' ),
  'id' => 'sidebar-7',
  'description' => __( 'The fourth footer widget area', 'twentyfourteen' ),
  'before_widget' => '<div class="textwidget">',
  'after_widget' => '</div>',
  'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
  'after_title' => '</h3>',
 ) );
}

  foreach ($results[3] as $k=> $r) {
    $obj .= '<li><a href="#'.sanitize_title($r).'" class="title_lvl'.$results[1][$k].'">'.$niveau.$r.'</a></li>';
  }

  $obj .= '</nav>';
  if ( $echo )
    echo $obj;

Do you have any idea?
