I don’t know what to tell you, but it’s not working on the home page. I took a screenshot that you can see here (https://ufile.io/8a6af) what it returns and the code is below. What am I missing? I added the code to the end of the section for output, but it’s pulling the home page’s own content with HTML/tags.

if (!empty($entries))
			{	global $post;
				
				$default_id = $post->ID;
				$output .= "<div class='av-upcoming-events ".$meta['el_class']."'>";
				foreach($entries as $entry)
				{	
					$class  = "av-upcoming-event-entry";
					$image  = get_the_post_thumbnail($entry->ID, 'square', array( 'class' => 'av-upcoming-event-image' ));
					$class .= !empty($image) ? " av-upcoming-event-with-image" : " av-upcoming-event-without-image";
					$title  = get_the_title($entry->ID);
					$link	= get_permalink($entry->ID);
					
					$post->ID = $entry->ID; //temp set of the post id so that tribe fetches the correct price symbol
					$price  = tribe_get_cost( $entry->ID, true );
					$venue  = tribe_get_venue( $entry->ID );
					$post->ID = $default_id;
					
					$output .= "<a href='{$link}' class='{$class}'>";
					
		if($image)  $output .= $image;
					$output .= "<span class='av-upcoming-event-data'>";
						$output .= "<h4 class='av-upcoming-event-title'>{$title}</h4>";
							$output .= "<span class='av-upcoming-event-meta'>";
							$output .= "<span class='av-upcoming-event-schedule'>".tribe_events_event_schedule_details($entry)."</span>";
							$output .= apply_filters('avf_upcoming_event_extra_data', "", $entry);
							$output .= "</span>";
						$output .= "</span>";
					$output .= "</a>";
					$excerpt = !empty(get_the_excerpt($entry->ID)) ? get_the_excerpt($entry->ID) :  get_the_content($entry->ID);
if($excerpt) $output .= "<span class='av-upcoming-event-excerpt'>{$excerpt}</span>";
				}

For the record, I had even found older code that a moderator had suggested, which is below, but it does not work in the current version. I also tried $entry->the_excerpt, and $entry->the_content;

$excerpt = $entry->post_excerpt;
							$output .= "<span class='av-upcoming-event-excerpt'>{$excerpt}</span>";

I should add that I don’t want to waste anyone’s time making them login and such, but just need a tip on why the code to show an excerpt here doesn’t seem to be working no matter what I try. If it’s really easier I can provide admin access but I’m assuming I’m fairly close to the right answer here.
