Well, I found it: function get_the_excerpt_filter( $excerpt ) { $wordToRemove = “Introduction”; $len = strlen($wordToRemove); if(substr($excerpt, 0, $len) == $wordToRemove){ $excerpt = trim(substr($excerpt, $len)); } return $excerpt; } add_filter( ‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘get_the_excerpt_filter’ ); Hope this helps someone else.
As toscho stated, types_render_field() is not a wordpress function, so you should have declared it somewhere. HTML tags are stripped before returning the excerpt, whether you are using wp_trim_excerpt or wp_trim_words. If you need to keep HTML formatting in the excerpt, you will need to create your own excerpt function. To do this, you will … Read more

That means, in order for your custom loop to work, you need to add $recent->the_post() However, as you pointed out, you can’t do that when you use wp_get_posts, so I’d suggest modifying the query to be a custom loop: $args = array( … Read more

Ok I figured it out. My custom post type was called press_release not press-release, and instead of returning no results, wordpress was returning some arbitrary collection of results that were broken in weird ways.
I’d suggest this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/ It is very well maintained and documented. It will allow you to add one or more custom excerpt fields, manage the layout in the admin area and make them required so a post cannot be submitted without completing them.
i think this may solve your problem by removing this condition if ( preg_match(‘/<!–more(.*?)?–>/’, $post->post_content) ) { Not sure but give it a try Adds Read More after the excerpt. add_filter(‘the_excerpt’,’openstrap_excerpt’); function openstrap_excerpt(){ global $post; $link='<span class=”readmore”><a href=”‘.get_permalink().'” > read more →</a></span>’; $excerpt=get_the_excerpt(); echo $excerpt.$link; } Following code Limit the length of the excerpt to … Read more
