[Resolved] Page Header Excerpts

[Tiago]

Hi there,

Is it possible to add the page/post excerpt into the page header add-on like {{post_excerpt}} (didn’t work for me)

Thanks!

[Tom]

Since it’s a metabox, you should be able to do this:

{{custom_field.excerpt}}

Let me know 🙂

Tom,

cant get this to work.

That didn’t work for me either. Is there some other way to get the page/post excerpt into the page header?

[Tom]

Just looked into this further. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like WP stores the excerpt metabox as a custom field.

For now, you’d have to use the custom fields metabox.

In a future version I’ll include an “excerpt” template tag.

Ok thanks. Really enjoying the theme!

[Tom]

Great to hear! 🙂

Hi Tom,

wich future version you mean?

Hi there,

this topic is really old – its not even related to the Header Element… but it never made the cut on any of the updates to it. This doc explains how to add one:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-hero-examples/#example-4

Or better still use the Block Element – Page Hero:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-page-hero/

It comes with a GP Dynamic Content Block that can display the Excerpt ( amongst other stuff )

Hi David,

i just have to say…wow! Great.
Does it work with custom post type as well and costum post type terms?

Because i have a custom post type called “Tours” with “Custom Fields “Duration” and “Price”

->Block Element – Page Hero: Awesome!

It should 🙂

Please open a new topic if you run into any issues.

Thanks!
