On our homepage, we show some excerpts from blog posts and CPT News Items (added programmatically via custom loops, including the_excerpt()). Each and every one of those excerpts has this added:

<div class="heateorSssClear"></div>That amounts to a lot of extra code that we don’t want. (We don’t want that to appear, so we currently have it hidden using CSS, but it would be great to be able to get that out of the code entirely.)
Is that added to ALL excerpts by the SSS plugin?
How can we get rid of it? Is there some kind of hook that we could use?
If not, as a work-around, could we de-select Homepage from the Placement settings, and add it to our homepage as a shortcode instead – would that remove the excerpt code from excerpts that appear on the homepage?
Any help greatly appreciated!!
