Get excerpt as variable?

What is your question?

Do you want a specific excerpt, the most recent one, or a random one…need a little more clarification please.

Given a specific post id, what’s the best way to get it’s excerpt into a variable? Querypost?

$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();

It has to be within the loop. If you want a specific post excerpt outside the loop:

global $post;
get_post(‘7’);
$excerpt = $postid->post_excerpt;

That’ll return the excerpt for the post with an ID of “7”.

Awesome and great detail doodlebee. Thanks!

Use get_the_excerpt() function.

EXAMPLE :<?php
$myExcerpt = get_the_excerpt();
if ($myExcerpt != ”) {
// Some string manipulation performed
}
echo $myExcerpt; // Outputs the processed value to the page
?>
