  I want to completely remove the ellipses from my excerpts. They show up on my page as … rather than the bracketed […]. How do I get rid of this? How can I add a “Continue Reading” instead?

  Here is my functions.php code:

  <?php

  $functions_path = TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/functions/’;
  $includes_path = TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/’;

  //Theme Options
  require_once $functions_path . ‘admin-options.php’;

  //Loading jQuery and Scripts
  require_once $includes_path . ‘theme-scripts.php’;

  //Widget and Sidebar
  require_once $includes_path . ‘sidebar-init.php’;

  require_once $includes_path . ‘register-widgets.php’;

  //Additional function
  require_once $includes_path . ‘theme-function.php’;

  //Theme init
  require_once $includes_path . ‘theme-init.php’;

  // removes detailed login error information for security
  add_filter(‘login_errors’,create_function(‘$a’, “return null;”));

  // Removes Trackbacks from the comment cout
  add_filter(‘get_comments_number’, ‘comment_count’, 0);
  function comment_count( $count ) {
  if ( ! is_admin() ) {
  global $id;
  $comments_by_type = &separate_comments(get_comments(‘status=approve&post_id=’ . $id));
  return count($comments_by_type[‘comment’]);
  } else {
  return $count;
  }
  }

  // custom excerpt ellipses for 2.9+
  function custom_excerpt_more($more) {
  return ‘Read More »’;
  }
  add_filter(‘excerpt_more’, ‘custom_excerpt_more’);
  // no more jumping for read more link
  function no_more_jumping($post) {
  return ‘ID).'” class=”read-more”>’.’Continue Reading’.’‘;
  }
  add_filter(‘excerpt_more’, ‘no_more_jumping’);

  // category id in body and post class
  function category_id_class($classes) {
  global $post;
  foreach((get_the_category($post->ID)) as $category)
  $classes [] = ‘cat-‘ . $category->cat_ID . ‘-id’;
  return $classes;
  }
  add_filter(‘post_class’, ‘category_id_class’);
  add_filter(‘body_class’, ‘category_id_class’);

  ?>
