Hi,
The wp-admin credentials for this site are:
UN: larsindepth
PW: 8LuObvjKau0pqqWz

In the view "Homepage Most Recent," the field [wpv-post-excerpt output="raw"] on line 5 in the Edit View, is missing from all Posts.

I apologize if this is a stupid question - but I am not able to find this custom field, nor how I can make it appear in a Post. Your help will be greatly appreciated 😉

Aloha,
Lars

Hi Lars,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The shortcode 'wpv-post-excerpt' is used to show the post's excerpt and not the value from any custom field:

Here is a guide on the topic of WordPress' excerpt feature:
