this gives me the page title but not excerpt.

Kyle (tresinvolved) fucking wins! Thank you! YES!

Hey Dudes! Was JUST now able to get back to working on this and George, you win today!

Thanks to all of you! <3

Thanks, but no dice.

w/ my solution and this i can get it to work if i cam only calling for the ‘lists’ field, but once i also ask for the sub_field ….nope :/ GRF!

Again, thanks though!

we’re getting the C back.

see the code above by tresinvolved for resolution.

whoa whoa whoa… OK.. no.. it DID work! THANK YOU!
??

this has got to be close, cause it’s returning the “Maybe some text, maybe more text” but not recognizing/translating the shortcode (and I am sure the shortcode is correct)

VICTORY!

Thank you! I have that in place in my functions.php file… but i just did a little test — made a function file with ONLY that and it worked… so looks like it is being interfered with with something else in that file…

the plot thickens…

OK, I figured out my issue and it is that I misunderstood the function of the_excerpt.

I always understood the excerpt to either be the text defined as the excerpt in wordpress OR the first 100 (or whatever) characters in the post. But, looks like I’m wrong. If no text is in the “excerpt” field of a post will the full content just display.

That worked! I had done that earlier and it wasn’t working.. but i suspect I had a typo i was overlooking :/

CHEERS!

Thank you!

This was near spot on! Just changed the ASC to DESC and this just as i was looking for, you rock! ??

solved this by adding the custom post type name into the “Category base” field within WordPresses Permalinks Panel!

both what I had originally and with the ->ID addition Jerry suggested returns a link of the Categories Names but the link just points to the sites homepage, not the category archive. … UNLESS i switch to Default /?p=123 configured permalinks.
