 * I am using the “Change Read More Text for Excerpts” from the Code Library.
 * But it does not change the “Read More” text at end of excerpts from overview 
   with blog posts.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fread-more-excerpt-code%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@mahyulan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mahyulan/),
 * That snippet may not work as expected if your theme uses a different way to add
   the read more button. As far as I can see on the page you shared, the Read More
   button is implemented by the theme separately from the excerpt. Our snippet only
   works if the excerpt “Read More” button that is default to WordPress is used.
 * In your case, if you want to change that text you will need to look into how 
   the theme implements that button in order to find a way to replace it.
