Hi Jefus,
I’m glad to hear that the code has helped you 🙂
Regarding your question, it’s hard for me to answer without seeing your code. However, off the top of my head I would check where you’re trying to use is_category, because if run too early in the page load lifecycle, it doesn’t have sufficient information to return the expected result.

Example class=”price” This needs to be appended to the end of the excerpt.
I have tried several methods I’ve found from Google search, so far your example (with some additional code) is the only one that has worked.
Except that it tries to find the price in all categories and breaks the site. Adding a test for is_category didn’t work so I’m stumped.

Thank you for the post/tutorial it has been very helpful.

I will definitely try to create a custom excerpt for one of my new websites.

Thanks for the awesome code. Bunch of thanks! 🙂
