How to remove "read more" link from custom post type excerpt

Question

Is there a way I can add some kind of pre_get_posts() filter to strip out the "read more" link that appears at the end of the_excerpt() for only 1 certain custom post type that I specify?

If so, can someone please help me out with the code? I've been working at it for a while but haven't gotten anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

I fixed this by adding the below to functions.php

remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');

Courtesy of Remove more or [...] text from short post

Answer 2

Put the following code in functions.php to show "read more" on all post types except custom_post_type.

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
  global $post;
  if ($post->post_type != 'custom_post_type')
  {
    $output .= '<p><a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">read more</a></p>';  
  }
  return $output;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

Answer 3

An easy solution is to put following code inside style.css:

 a.read-more {
    display:none;
 }

This targets <a class="read-more">

Answer 4

What about this? Basically it's a way to customize the text by adding a callback function to the functions.php file. I'm thinking, however, if you just return a space instead, then it should override it and not display anything.

// Replaces the excerpt "more" text by a link
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
   global $post;
   return ' ';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

I got this from The Wordpress codex

Edit:

This is untested, but what if you do this:

// Replaces the excerpt "more" text by a link
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
   global $post;
   if ($post->post_type == 'your-cpt')
   {
      return " ";
   }
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

To reiterate, I haven't tested this, but may get you on the right track (i.e. var_dump($post) to see how you can bend it to your will from within the new_excerpt_more function.

function custom_theme_developement_view_product_button(){
    global $product;
    $link = $product->get_permalink();
    echo '<a href="" class="added_to_cart wc-forward" title="View cart"></a>'; 
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'custom_theme_developement_view_product_button', 11 );
