Excerpt field missing from pages

[Ian]

There is no box to fill in a custom excerpt that I can find anywhere in the “page” admin. It is not under “Page Meta”. I checked under screen options and it does not show up their as well.

Because I am using the Swift Page Builder custom excerpts are kind of required.

Hi

I don’t understand what you mean by an excerpt for a page? There is no pages page builder asset? Excerpts are for post types

Was not refereeing to a page builder asset. Excerpts are for all post types and there is currently no where to fill one in. In Cardinal it is found in “Page Meta” it is not there in Atelier and I can not find it anywhere else.

Hi,

Pages not use the excerpt currently, not sure where in the theme you would make use of this?

However, inside a post it’s Meta Options => Post Meta => Custom Excerpt => Custom excerpt.

Cheers,
David.

Speaking of that I would love to see the excerpt added to the overlay search results to help users find the content they are looking for.

They are use in Cardinal for the search results.
Will forward it to Ed so it can be considered in a future update.
