    Hello,

    for the Ultra-Premium Theme, in the Blog section, I can select to see the “Post Excerpt Read More Link” but then the Excerpt doesn’t finish with ellipses (…)
    Would be possible to have both? I would like to have the “Read More Link” and also the ellipses at the end of the text.

    Thank you,
    Alex.

    Hi Alex

    Sure, I’ll try and re-work that function and get an update out in the next few days.

    Hi Andrew,

    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.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Alex

    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.
