Hi everybody.
How can I make the excerpt’s ellipsis clickable and eventually replace them with other characters?

I tried both to add the function

function wpse_excerpt_more( $more ) {
    return ' <a href="'. get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . '">' . __('Read More', 'your-text-domain') . '</a>';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'wpse_excerpt_more' );

in the function.php file of the child theme, both to install the plugin Advanced Excerpt but it does not work.
Any suggestions?

Hi,

The excerpts will be cut the specified limit, but there will be no clickable link after the cutting process. Some modules display a read more button which will lead to the post page, you could use one of those. There is a list here

The three dots are defined here if this is helpful to you
