I’m trying to output a custom image in my excerpt ‘read more’ links.

Like so…

enter image description here

I am using the advanced exceprt plugin because it so much customizable for my needs.

This is how I’ve tried to output the excerpt with the image in the readmore link…

<?php the_advanced_excerpt('length=120&use_words=0&no_custom=0&ellipsis=%26hellip;&read_more=read more <img src"' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '"/images/readmore-arrow.png" alt="" />&add_link=1'); ?>

But weirdly it outputs this readmore link…

enter image description here

I seems to break up the URL of the image location and output it like this…

<img alt="" readmore-arrow.png"="" images="" my-theme-name"="" themes="" wp-content="" wp="" mywebsitename.co.uk="" src"http:="">

Can any one help me fix this?

Thanks

Working code…

<?php the_advanced_excerpt('length=120&use_words=0&no_custom=0&ellipsis=%26hellip;&rea‌​d_more=read more <img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/images/readmore-arrow.png" alt="" />&add_link=1'); ?>

    I’m not sure if this will fix it for you as i’ve not used that plugin, but you’re missing an = for the src attribute. I’ve added it in here:

    <?php the_advanced_excerpt('length=120&use_words=0&no_custom=0&ellipsis=%26hellip;&read_more=read more <img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '"/images/readmore-arrow.png" alt="" />&add_link=1'); ?>
