thanks, that would be great. I think this helps the user to know that this is not the complet text. You can finish it with “…” or “[…]”. And put the ellipsis as an extra option to the “Read More Link”.
Thanks for the update, now it looks great. Would be possible to change the size of the excerpt font? I would like to have it smaller than the content font.
Unfortunately, there isn’t any wrapper so no way to target the ellipsis. You can grab the function in inc/template-tags.php and copy it to your child functions.php file if you’d like. Line 358 to 393. $ellipsis is on line 370, you could change it to [...] for example.
