   Hi, how would I go about grabbing a page experpt and display it individually on another page? Or perhaps targeting it in the database to display it individually?

   I've searched round but found no answer yet...

   I have this add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' ); in my functions to allow pages to have exerpts.

   Thanks

   I thought get_the_excerpt() would help you with that but upon checking the codex it no longer supports the post ID parameter (?).

   Or something like this for a single post:

   To get the excerpt for a post with ID 7:

   <?php
   $my_id = 7;
   $post_id_7 = get_post($my_id);
   $title = $post_id_7->post_excerpt;
   ?>
