Reply To: Read more tag/marker

Hi,

There are two ways:

1)

Line 71 and 72 of functions.php

function themonic_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 58;

Only change the number 58 to a lower number and save.

2) If you don’t want to modify excerpts words via functions.php then try this plugin

Advanced Excerpt

the manual read more tag via the WP editor and other html will work even in excerpts now.
