I have tried you plugin and can’t seem to get an excerpt out of it.
I want to display an excerpt from a child page on a parent page template. That is what I thought your plugin would do. The excerpt text box appears in the page admin, but calling the_excerpt() from the parent template yields nothing.
My code:
$pageChildren = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = “.$post->ID.” AND post_type = ‘page’ AND post_title=’Biography’ ORDER BY menu_order”, ‘OBJECT’);
if ( $pageChildren ) : foreach ( $pageChildren as $pageChild ) : setup_postdata( $pageChild );
the_excerpt();
endforeach; endif;
