In the case of expound theme index page is used as homepage, and there is no static front-page in the theme.
Try to add is_home() to the condition.
function addtoexcerpt($excerpt) {
ob_start();
$values = ob_get_clean();
return $values.$excerpt;
}
if( is_single()||is_category()||is_home() ) {
add_filter('the_excerpt','addtoexcerpt');
}
I hope this should help you.
