How Do I Create a Custom Excerpt in WordPress?

Creating a custom excerpt in WordPress can be a time-consuming process, depending on the complexity of your article. There are several ways to achieve this, but the most common approach is to use the Custom Fields option in the WordPress Admin.

First, identify the section of your article that you want to excerpt. You can do this by clicking on the “Excerpt” button next to the “Post Title” field in the WordPress Admin, or by using the custom fields option.

Next, use the fields to create a custom excerpt. You will need to provide a name for the excerpt, a brief description, and the category for which you want to create the excerpt.

You can also include a link to the full article if you want.

Once you have created the fields, click on the “save” button to save the excerpt.

Now, you will need to activate the excerpt. To do this, click on the “Excerpt” button next to the “Post Title” field in the WordPress Admin, and then select the excerpt that you have created.

Finally, you will need to add a “Custom Fields” metabox to your article. To do this, click on the “ metabox” icon next to the “Post Title” field, and then add the “Custom Fields” metabox.

Now, you will need to add the field to your article. To do this, click on the “Add New Field” button, and then enter the name of the field in the “Field Name” field.

You will then need to enter the data for the field. The data for the “Custom Fields” field is specifically tailored to excerpting articles, so you will need to provide the name of the excerpt, the description, and the category.

Finally, you will need to add a “link” field. To do this, click on the “link” icon next to the “Field Name” field, and then enter the link to the full article in the “Link” field.

Now, you will have created a custom excerpt for your article, and you can use it in future posts.
