 * Sup fellow awesome WP contributers!
 * Got me a clients wants to manually choose for each page, which OTHER pages’ excerpts
   to display.
 * I know how to manually make the code for excerpts one by one …
    (see the ‘bottom_article_1’
   thingie below, it calls information from custom field) … question is how do i
   dynamically create these in a loop according to what client fills in custom field.
   So if client fills one page id in custom field, only that excerpt show.
 * If client fills three pages id’s, three excerpts show.
 * Ideas?
 *     ```
       global $post;
       global $wp_query;
       		$active_page = $wp_query->post->ID;
       		$post_id = get_post_meta($active_page, 'bottom_article_1', true);
       		$queried_post = get_post($post_id);
       		$title = $queried_post->post_title;
       		$author = $queried_post->post_author;
       		$user_info = get_userdata($author);
   
               $first_name = $user_info->first_name;
               $last_name = $user_info->last_name;
       ```
