   I'm trying to create an if statement which will only call the_excerpt if one has been written by the user (so not the WP generated on which ends [...])

   I am using this code...
   

   <?php if (get_the_excerpt($post->ID)!==''): ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   But it's still called. I presume because WP still recognises the excerpt not equal to ' ' because it's generated one itself.

   Is there a way to qualify only an excerpt written by the USER?

   Thanks

   What about $post->post_excerpt?

   Thanks, seems to have done the trick.

   Used
   

   <?php if ($post->post_excerpt!==''): ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   I love this community :)
