Hello,
It appears that your themes, at least the two I have used, have removed the excerpt field in the editor. How can I put the excerpt field back in the Catch Base Free editor?
Thank you!
September 16, 2018 at 11:11 am #154081SkandhaParticipant@caustin: Go to => Dashboard => Posts => Edit a post => On the top right hand side you will see Screen Options => Click on it and check Excerpt to enable Excerpt field.
Let me know if this works out!
Kind Regards,

Thanks for the update! Sorry, I forgot to mention I’m using the new Gutenberg editor and I think meta boxes are working differently in Gutenberg. So, there’s no Screen Options. Any thoughts?
Thanks again,

The excerpt field IS available on Posts but NOT on Pages.September 18, 2018 at 9:03 am #154254christopher AustinParticipantAlso…
I switched back to the classic editor for a Page to see if I could turn on Excerpts and the Excerpt option was not in the Screen Options.
Thank you,
caustinSeptember 18, 2018 at 1:46 pm #154275christopher AustinParticipantRemembering that I had the same problem with the Catch Clean Business Pro, I put the following code into my Catch Base Child theme’s functions.php and I now have an excerpt metabox for pages:
// Adding excerpt for page
add_post_type_support( ‘page’, ‘excerpt’ );Thanks,
