[Resolved] Add ACF custom fields to a post excerpt

[Elvin]

Try this:

add_filter( 'the_excerpt', function( $excerpt ) {
    $the_custom_field = get_field('year', get_queried_object_id());
    // return the excerpt followed by the_custom_field value
    return $excerpt . $the_custom_field; 
} );

No luck but I sincerely thank you for trying. I have a support ticket sent to ACF to see if they have any insight. I’ve also tried a number of similar code snippets found through searches but I can’t get anything to change.

Just to be clear, I’m expecting the Excerpt field at the bottom of the post editor to be populated with the year field. I have another plugin that will only use the Excerpt field to display data alongside the post title. Maybe what’s happening is the data is being passed somewhere that I can’t see?

I’m not fully sure where year ACF is associated to so get_queried_object_id() is pretty much a guess. My assumption was, it was a field assigned to a taxonomy term, to be displayed on the current taxonomy archive.

I’d change get_queried_object_id() to get_the_ID() or just omit the ID if the ACF is assigned to post.
