Read more no longer displaying

Question

After upgrading WordPress, TinyMCE Excerpt stopped working, and so did the excerpt code within thehypebr.com/index.php. I'm not sure why Read More doesn't display after each excerpt.

        <div class="custom_excerpt"><?php the_excerpt('Read more &raquo;'); ?></div><div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>

Answer 1

the_excerpt() doesn't take any parameters. Only the_content() takes that parameter. You're going to have to add a read more link another way if you want to use the excerpt.

EDIT

To add a permalink after the excerpt, you could do this:

the_excerpt();
echo '<p><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">Read More...</a></p>';
