Question about Excerpt

Try it again, please.
What exactly are you trying to achieve and what exactly are you doing? Like, click… which link?

Are you saying you can’t load the following page?
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/the_excerpt

ill try again.

You know when your making a new post. Under where you type in the post name you got a line where you can type in something..

and the link is https://www.ads-software.com/docs/reference/post/#excerpt

What version of WP?
And why do you need that link?
Your can type “something” in that field and if any of your template files (like archive.php) uses the_excerpt template tag rather than the_content – it will display that text.
To read about the tag, please, follow the link alphaoide provided above.

version 1.5

didnt need the link. Just was the one used when i clicked it

thanks for explaining ??
