Remove Default Excerpt, Use Only Custom Excerpt, Wrap Excerpt In CSS Class

[ashleymichelle]

I am attempting to wrap the genesis outputted post excerpt in a custom class, but I have been unable to do so, and can't figure out how to accomplish this task.

Is there a filter I can add to my Theme Functions to accomplish this?

Also, I would like to:

1) Remove all default excerpts, and only display the manual excerpts when applicable
2) Maintain the "Read More" link on all posts

Thank you!

I got this out of genesis > lib > structure > post.php

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );

function genesis_do_post_content() {

	if ( is_singular() ) {
		the_content();

		if ( is_single() && 'open' === get_option( 'default_ping_status' ) && post_type_supports( get_post_type(), 'trackbacks' ) ) {
			echo '<!--';
			trackback_rdf();
			echo '-->' . "\n";
		}

		if ( is_page() && apply_filters( 'genesis_edit_post_link', true ) ) {
			edit_post_link( __( '(Edit)', 'genesis' ), '', '' );
		}
	}
	elseif ( 'excerpts' === genesis_get_option( 'content_archive' ) ) {
		the_excerpt();
	}
	else {
		if ( genesis_get_option( 'content_archive_limit' ) ) {
			the_content_limit( (int) genesis_get_option( 'content_archive_limit' ), genesis_a11y_more_link( __( '[Read more...]', 'genesis' ) ) );
		} else {
			the_content( genesis_a11y_more_link( __( '[Read more...]', 'genesis' ) ) );
		}
	}

}

You can also filter the_excerpt and filter get_the_excerpt
