   I have enabled custom excerpts on my pages with this function.
   

   add_action('init', 'page_excerpts');
   
   function page_excerpts() {
       add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' );
   }

   However, When I enter a data into the excerpt field I still have the content returning in the loop instead of the excerpt.

   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

   What am I doing wrong here?
   Do I need to do anything else to force the content to be pulled from the excerpt field on pages?

   Here is my full code
   

   <?php
   $child_pages = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT *  FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = ".$post->ID."   AND post_type = 'page' ORDER BY menu_order", 'OBJECT'); ?>
         <?php if ( $child_pages ) : foreach ( $child_pages as $pageChild ) : setup_postdata( $pageChild ); ?>
         <div class="grid_4">
           <h2><a href="<?php echo  get_permalink($pageChild->ID); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php echo $pageChild->post_title; ?>"><?php echo $pageChild->post_title; ?></a></h2>
           <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
   		 <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($pageChild->ID, 'landing-page', array('title' => $pageChild->post_title ,'class' => 'post-image')); ?>
       	</a>
           <?php echo get_the_excerpt( $pageChild->ID ); ?>
           <p class="seemore"><a href="<?php echo  get_permalink($pageChild->ID); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php echo $pageChild->post_title; ?>">See More</a></p>
         </div>
         <?php endforeach; endif; ?>

   • the_excerpt(); is returning the_content() of child pages
   • Not sure how to fix this
