Filtered content appears in the excerpt

Question

I am modifying the content using the "the_content" filter. But this filtering is seen in the excerpts also.

Consider the following code,

function modify_content($content = ''){
    return 'HELLO ALL' . $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'modify_content');

This works in the main content perfectly.

But,

if you see in the excerpt, the "HELLO ALL" text is printed, which is unwanted.

---

How to avoid or remove the text in the excerpt ??? which is to be added only to the main content ?? I tried changing the priority but it is no use..

Thank you.

If there are no manual excerpts added to the Post, Wordpress picks the content itself as excerpt for that Post. You may either put the excerpts for Posts manually or apply_filter('the_excerpt', 'modify_excerpt') and remove the unwanted text from the excerpt. The function code-structure will remain almost the same, with the exception that now you will want to remove the "Hello All" from excerpt.

I hope this helps; let us know if this resolves your issue.
