Excerpt not working

    I am trying to get the excerpt from my posts.

    In the posts themselves I inserted the <!–more–> tag.

    My code:

    <?php
  $args = array( 'numberposts' => '1' );
  $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
    foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
      echo '<h4><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">' . $recent["post_title"].'</a></h4>';

      $excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
      echo $excerpt;
      the_excerpt();
      echo $recent["the_content('Read the rest of this entry »')"];
 }
?>

    As you will see I have tried multiple option, but none seems to be working.

    Can anyone please help?

    I found the problem.

    My search loop was empty. By adding a WP_Query search before I managed to get posts, and then their excerpts.

    The empty query was due to the page address (I am making a custom page).

    <?php $the_query = new WP_Query('define your own query');
    if($the_query->have_posts()):
        while ($the_query->have_posts()): $the_query->the_post();?>
	    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h2>
            <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?><p>
	endwhile;

	else:
	    echo '<p>Nothing found</p>';
	endif;
?>
