 * Hello,
 * I’ve been running support requests with Elementor as well, and Unlimited Elements(
   plugin running the ‘post grid’) and they are coming up empty… so, I thought I’d
   check with you all because I used your plugin to export and Import these custom
   post types.
 * Is there a chance the post excerpts have disappeared or are hidden but used/called
   by these other plugins? Here’s the request I sent to UE, which should offer the
   whole story for background.
 * I duplicated a page that was showing a text summary instead of the breadcrumbs(
   Banff). 
    - Example page: [https://capture.dropbox.com/1UjdR587N6UwhoRN](https://capture.dropbox.com/1UjdR587N6UwhoRN)
    - Example screenshot: [https://capture.dropbox.com/1UjdR587N6UwhoRN](https://capture.dropbox.com/1UjdR587N6UwhoRN)
 * Notice that the summary text for Revelstoke and Sun Peaks reads, “We offer a 
   variety of Banff vacation packages.” 
 * Banff was the page I duplicated. 
 * I’ve looked at Banff, and these other pages (Revelstoke & Sun peaks), and all
   I can find in the code is a reference to uc_post_text. Screenshot: [https://capture.dropbox.com/8wjBwTrAZ7K1wYop](https://capture.dropbox.com/8wjBwTrAZ7K1wYop)
 * I guess we are back to trying to find where these texts are coming from.  And,
   why are some working and others not?
 * Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thank you,
 *  Rob

 * Impossible for us to say or know for certain where those text spots are coming
   from. Best we can suggest would be to edit the posts and check around the UI 
   for possible sources.

 * This is what I have done… and there doesn’t appear to be any excerpts to be seen.
 * They are custom post types created through import from CPT UI… They have said
   they had nothing to do with a missing excerpt. All other forums & posts I have
   seen related show that there should be a post excerpt in the page editing… and
   there is not.

 * Just to be certain, “excerpt” is checked in the “supports section at the bottom
   of the CPTUI editor screen correct?
 * Also, have you clicked the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner and scrolled
   down to “Preferences”? You can toggle the metabox for Excerpts on and off via
   the General > Document Settings section.

 * [@tw2113](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) You’re the BEST! The box
   wasn’t checked in CPT UI.
 * I knew it had to be something so simple.
 * I guess the stranger thing is that other posts in this post-type are working 
   and these require some editing. But I’ll move on with this knowledge and I am
   grateful for your help.
 * Thank you,
 *  Rob
