## Frequently Asked Questions ##

### Can I change the default text "Continue reading"? ###

Yes. In your `functions.php` file, you cand use the `afpw_link_text` filter:
```
<?php
function mytheme_change_afpw_link_text() {
    return 'Learn more';
}

add_filter( 'afpw_link_text', 'mytheme_change_afpw_link_text' );
?>
```

### Why am I unable to define a manual excerpt for my pages? ###

First, check if the option for excerpts is not showing under "Screen Options". If that's the case, probably your theme doesn't support excerpts in pages. You need to use [`add_post_type_support()`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_post_type_support) inside your `functions.php` file:
```
<?php
function mytheme_add_page_excerpt() {
    add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' );
}

add_action( 'init', 'mytheme_add_page_excerpt' );
?>
```
