    I’d like to be able to include the Excerpt More and Excerpt More Link after the title without also displaying the excerpt itself. This would be fine if you allowed an excrept_length=”0″ but unfortunately that doesn’t work either.

    If that’s not feasible, then it would be nice to be able to append a link or custom content at the end as an optional feature. How could I go about accomplishing any of these through my functions.php?

    I’m sorry but the excerpt more link only displays when the excerpt is being used (and at least some characters are displayed).

    The post title itself is a link, so there’s no need for an additional link.

    If you do want to change the output of the plugin, you can use the output filter (example).

    Thank you, this was incredibly useful. I checked the available parameters and couldn’t find it, but is there a way to retrieve the URL of the post directly? That way I can use the above filter to create my own links after the content.
