# not working with the_excerpt, function?

 * It’s working ok in single.php but not in index.php with the_excerpt() even though
   excerpt is enabled. I tested on default twenty twelve theme with no plugins installed(
   3.5.1 and 3.5.2).
 * Any way to include it as function? addthis_display_social_widget() – says missing
   parameter ?
    Adding the filter in functions.php for excerpt is not working.
 * Thanks.

 * Have you tried enabling “Home Page” in “Show On” section in admin panel?
