Modify Read More Link Text In Genesis 2.7 +

You can use the genesis_more_text filter added in version 2.7.0 of Genesis to modify the default output for the more text used with the_content_limit() and the_content() functions in genesis.

Add the following PHP code to your child themes functions file.

add_filter( 'genesis_more_text', 'filter_genesis_more_text' );
function filter_genesis_more_text() {

	$more_text = genesis_a11y_more_link( __( 'Modified Read more...', 'genesis' ) );
	
	return $more_text;
	
}

Here’s the result :

Show’s the default ( unfiltered ) & modified ( filtered ) result in the HTML output. Only the link text has changed.
