How to change the "Read more" text?

I am using this code in functions.php to so it will show on the front of my site and show the read more, but the read more is not showing, your help would be appreciated.

 function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
    return ' a href="'. get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . ' '
           . __('br/br/ Read More') . '/a';
    }

    add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

Add this in functions.php:

function develop_custom_excerpt_more($more) {
     global $post;
     // edit here if you like
     return '...  <a class="excerpt-read-more" href="'. get_permalink( $post->ID ) . '" title="'. __( 'Read ', 'domain_name' ) . esc_attr( get_the_title( $post->ID ) ).'">'. __( 'Show more &raquo;', 'domain_name' ) .'</a>';
 }
 add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'develop_custom_excerpt_more' );

I advises you to use this simple function in your functions.php

function read_more_modif(){
    $readmore = "make your custom text her" ;
    return '<div class="lireSuite"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">"'.$readmore.'</a></div>'; 
    } 

add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', ' read_more_modif' );

The excerpt_more filter only handles the linked text - not the link itself.

Try:

function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
    return '<br/><br/>Read More';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');
