The excerpt on the slider is coming from my old theme instead of taking it from my current page content.

@rickm813: It will take the page content before more tag . So, you can edit that page and add more tag. So, all the text above more tag will be shown in as excerpt in slider when choosing Featured Page Slider. For more about more tag, check this post http://devotepress.com/wordpress-writing-editing/how-to-split-content-using-the-more-tag-option/

The excerpt is ignoring the more tag. The excerpt on the slider is coming from my old theme on the page edit screen in the excerpt field. In this theme there isn’t access to that field in the page editor.

@rickm813: your old theme must have added in page excerpt box. If you want to add it in this theme as well then build child theme, you can download it from http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and add the following code in your child theme functions.php file.

add_action( 'init', 'catchresponsive_add_excerpts_to_pages' );
function catchresponsive_add_excerpts_to_pages() {
     add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' );
}

I don’t want to add the box but I need to get rid of the old excerpts that used to be in the box. The old excerpts are getting in the way of the read more tag.

@rickm813: You either need to activate old theme and delete it and then active our theme. Or you need to to add Excerpt by building child theme and delete it.
