Customizing the ‘read more’ link in WordPress

1 Views

Im trying to work on this site and I need to change the link in the “read more” button to another page (See picture, red circle).

How do I customize the destination of the “read more” link? This isn’t an excerpt function, it is a clickable link that leads to a whole other page.

  1. This will add a link in a div after the excerpt. Hide the initial read more link and that should work. Although the read more link really was intended only to link to the full article.

    function add_excerpt_link($more) {
global $post;
return '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '" class="custom-readmore-link">Custom Link</a>;';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'add_excerpt_link');
