Does the autogenerated excerpt not work with CPT UI?

    In my custom posts the excerpts only work fine if typed in manually. There is no way to find a solution. It doesn’t seem to me to be a matter of conflicts with other plugins because it happens even when deactivating everything and testing with other WordPress themes. With ‘canonical’ posts everything works perfectly. I am not an expert and I don’t know what to do anymore. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Not sure myself to be honest. CPTUI doesn’t do anything special to excerpts, so it’s generally out of our hands as well. It’s either custom code or the theme that’s likely doing things to it here.

    In fact, it sounds very strange to me. I have tried changing the theme, emptying the site of all plugins… nothing! The ‘canonical’ posts work, but the Custom Post Type, if you leave that damn excerpt box empty, shows nothing (even though, according to WordPress, it should show the first 55 words, taken from the description).

    Really going to depend on how the template is doing things. For example if it’s doing echo $post->post_content or similar rather than the_excerpt() or the_content() and whatnot, then that would be a factor.

    Ever get this figured out @eliocremi ?
