Has anyone had any luck finding a work around for this yet? I’m searching and trying what I can, really hate to downgrade all of my sites.

Solved it, just had to keep working on it!

In case someone else may want to do something similar I’ll post the solution below.

else {
   		global $wp_query;
		$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
        echo get_post_meta($postid, 'custom-field-name', true);
		echo "?[...]";
        echo "<p class='readmore'><a href='";
        the_permalink();
      echo "'>"."[Read More]</a>";
      echo "</p>";
   }
}
?>

The parts added/modified from what I was working with and previously posted:

global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
echo get_post_meta($postid, ‘custom-field-name’, true);
