excerpt_more WordPress Filter Hook
The excerpt_more hook is a great way to customize the default WordPress excerpt. This hook allows you to specify what should be displayed after the excerpt. By default, WordPress will display a "Read More" link after the excerpt, but you can use this hook to change that to something else, like a "Continue Reading" link or button.
