    I have tried at least a half dozen solutions to try to get the post excerpts to display on a preview page for password-protected posts – all of which entailed adding code to the functions.php in my child theme, but all produced site errors.

    Does anyone have a solution that actually works?

    Untested, but should work to append or prepend the current post’s excerpt through the “the_password_form” filter. This does involve some custom coding though. If for some reason this does not work, it’d be because your theme doesn’t use the_content() in a conventional manner.

    Since you are using a child theme anyway, you could alter the appropriate template code to output an excerpt only when post_password_required() returns true.
