Reply To: Readmore link for excerpts as well as content limit

I believe I originally found this snippet a couple of years ago from a tutorial at Studio Grasshopper, since I was always using manual excerpts and the StudioPress snippets were meant for automatic excerpts:

add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'manual_excerpt_more');
function manual_excerpt_more($excerpt) {
$excerpt_more = '';
if( has_excerpt() ) {
$excerpt_more = ' &nbsp; <a href="'.get_permalink().'" rel="nofollow">[Read more...]</a>';
}
return $excerpt . $excerpt_more;
}<!--formatted-->

I have this on several sites running Genesis 2.0 and various HTML5 child themes, and since I tend to use manual excerpts 99.9% of the time, I know it’s still working 🙂 Maybe it can help…
