# Excerpt field missing from admin

 * I’m running WordPress multisite and this morning I noticed I’m missing the excerpt
   field in the admin area on a handful of sites. I checked the “screen options”
   as this is usually the culprit for this kind of thing and “excerpt” doesn’t appear
   there as one of the options I can check.
 * Anybody else running into this? I’m confident the excerpt fields were there last
   week.

 * On further inspection this seems to be related to the Advanced Custom Fields 
   plugin. Disabling that plugin brings my excerpt field back. Re-enable the ACF
   plugin and they go away again.
 * It looks like somehow the excerpt option got unchecked on some of my custom field
   groups. There was an ACF update this morning. Perhaps it happened then.

 * The same is happening to us. We’re also using ACF and after updating it excerpt
   field dissapeared. Have you tried downgrading it to its previous version?

 * I’ve solved it. There’s a new feature in the last version of ACF:
 * – [Added] Add Excerpt to the field group “show on page” options
 * By default, Excerpt is unchecked, just check it and will appear.

 * Edit any published Post, click Screen Options at the very top of the page and
   check “Excerpt”. Do the same on any published Page.

 * No – it is in WordPress by default. Edit any Page, click Screen Options and let
   us know what boxes you see and what boxes are checked/unchecked.
