PHP Code Snippet

add_filter( 'wp_trim_excerpt', 'tu_excerpt_metabox_more' );
function tu_excerpt_metabox_more( $excerpt ) {
    $new_excerpt = str_replace("Read more</a>","Download",$excerpt);
	$output = $new_excerpt;	

    if ( has_excerpt() ) {
        $output = sprintf( '%1$s <a href="%2$s">%3$s</a>',
            $excerpt,
            get_permalink(),
            __( 'Download', 'generatepress' )
        );
    }

    return $output;
}

In the above snippet you have to replace the text “Download” with your own text.
