    Hi, I want to show the excerpt of a page ( not post) in the home page. I used this code

    <?php
$page_id = 2;
$page_data = get_page ( $page_id );
$content = $page_data->post_content;
echo apply_filters( 'the_content', $page_data->post_content );?>

    and it works good, but it shows all the content and I want just the excerpt.
    I already tried to change content with excerpt, but it doesn’t work.
    Can someone help me, please?
    Thanks a lot

    Thanks, but I already saw this link. It explains how to use excerpt for the post. I need excerpt for the text of a page.

    Ok, so you can use substr in php to limit the characters, if it solves your problem. 

    <>php 

$page_id = 43;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$content = $page_data->post_content;

echo "<div id='name'>";
echo substr( $content, 0, 100);
echo "</div>";

?>

    This line describes your limit and instead 100 you can use any value:

    echo substr( $content, 0, 100);
