Hello,

You can try shortcode [wpv-post-excerpt] of Toolset Blocks/Views plugin, for example:
[wpv-post-excerpt length="30" count="word" more=" - ..."]

See our document:

Hello,
Thank you luo for your help but I still don't know about the other custom text fields I had created. Can you please let me know about that?

Also, I think you missed the part where I asked in the video about hiding the image/content if the field is empty on the backend. What do I do about that? Please let me know

Since you are using Elementor page builder to design the page, there are lots of limitation when use Elementor with Toolset, see our document:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/using-toolset-with-elementor-page-builder/#limitations-when-using-elementor-and-toolset-templates-together
section "Limitations when using Elementor and Toolset templates together"

And in your case, I suggest you try one of below options:
option 1) Setup the custom field shortcode manually, then copy/paste them into Elementor page builder
For example, custom field shortcode, please check our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#textfield
Conditional shortcode:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-conditional

option 2) follow the document I mentioned above to design the page/post with WordPress blocks editor, and use Elementor with Toolset plugins:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/using-toolset-with-elementor-page-builder/#how-to-use-elementor-with-toolset
