  For now, the text from my post excerpt field doesn’t show anywhere.
  I would like all the post archives (plus search, tags and categories results) show the posts excerpt (in case the excerpt field is filled in), not the main text of the post. If there’s no excerpt, then the beginning of the main text is fine.

  Hi there,

  Can you please share your blog URL? :)

  Since you’re talking about ‘the_excerpt’, I think you are running a self hosted site using WordPress.org

  If that’s the case then you should be looking for support on the awesome WordPress.org forums located here –

  Oh! That’s great. But since you’re running a standalone site, the best place to look for help would be WordPress.org forums.

  And here are some other useful links –

  https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_excerpt/

  Note that you’ll have to take this further into WP.org forums. And don’t worry, I’m sure the experts at WordPress.org forums will be able to help you in the best possible way :)

  Good luck!
