Hi Vinay,

thanks for your elaborate response and sorry for the confusion.

what I am trying to achieve is to have the excerpt automatically added to the full single posts display on the front end to use it as ‘lead text’ (intro) to the article so I can easily make it stand out with CSS. That way the user doesn’t have to manualy add styling to the lead text of every article to make it stand out.

My thinking is this: if the user is going to the trouble of writing a summary in the excerpt meta box you might as well use that as lead/intro text on the full article page. With the added benefit of being able to easily add some css (bold and slighly larger font for instance) to make it stand out.

If you think there is a better, more user friendly way of achieving this, let me know.

Kind regards

Hi!

I’d like the excerpt to also be shown a the single page view of the post.

Thanks for helping out!
