Hi

When I am showing an excerpt on a template its including in the code a read more link, whilst this isn't visible its in the code, is there a way I can stop this being outputted on the page?

If you go to this page - hidden link

And then view the source you will see this in the source code for each excerpt.

Thanks.

Well - I tested the issue with clean install and only Toolset plugins active and I've added the following shortcode to content template assigned to view's loop output.

{!{wpv-post-excerpt length='27' count='word' more='...'}!}

And i do not see any read more link rendered in the code, this looks like specific to your install where other plugin or theme causing this conflict.
