 * Please go layout editor
 * Under the item “Read more” you will see the input field for “Read more text:”
   you need to put your own read more text (ellipsis)
    if the input field is not
   there please delete existing and add new “Read more” from top list items.
 * Please see the screenshot

 * Thanks for your reply but this only helps me change the text of the read more
   function.
 * I have applied a class to this function making it a CTA button. Therefore I do
   not wish to change the text of it.
 * I’d like to place an ellipsis directly after the excerpt. Currently when the 
   text excerpt reaches it’s character limit it cuts off suddenly. I feel adding
   an ellipsis would soften this.
 * Do you know how I can do this?

 * Thanks for your reply,
 * you need to customized CSS on layout editor
 * Here is the sample CSS for you.
 * Excerpt:
 *     ```
       font-size:12px;display: inline;padding:0px;
       ```

 *     ```
       font-size:12px;display: inline;padding:0px;text-decoration: none;
       ```

 * Hi,
 * I’ve just tried adding this code but it doesn’t seem to have done anything.
 * Is there anything else I can try?
