Wrap Excerpt In Custom Tag

[ashleymichelle]

I am attempting to wrap the genesis outputted post excerpt in a custom <p> class, but I have been unable to do so thus far, without crashing my theme.

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

Thank you!

Also, I would like to remove all excerpts while maintaining the "Read More" link, unless they are manual excerpts.

For anyone else interested in a solution to wrapping the_excerpt into a <p class=""> tag, here is what I used (I put it into a custom plugin).

// * Excerpt Formatting *//

add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'bonbon_excerpt' );
function bonbon_excerpt() {
	return '<p class="excerpt">' . get_the_excerpt() . '</a>';
}
