 * Hello [@mabeall32](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mabeall32/) I had this
   issue a while back and I know others have as well so I will share how to add 
   customization to your page excerpts. Add the following code to the functions.
   php file of the theme:
 * // Adding excerpt for page
    add_post_type_support( ‘page’, ‘excerpt’ );
 * Once you do, you’ll notice that each page has the option to edit its excerpt (
   as long has you have made the excerpt visible under Screen Options). You will
   then be able to edit the text that is shown in the slideshow by typing it in 
   the excerpt box.
