  Hi there,
  My site displays excerpt automatically just fine, but i want to add some other text in the excerpt of my posts. i go to screen options-> Check excerpt, and then in the excerpt window below the post editor i write whatever i want.

  But, after i save, the “read more” link in the main page disappears.

  how can i edit the excerpt manually and still have the “read more” link visible?

  I think your theme doesn’t support this, you’ll need to add a few lines to your theme is what I understand.
