Hi @him

Got you now, thanks for the clarification.

Well, in that case, you need to pass the post_id of the related post to get_field(...)

Pass this parameter from <?php echo custom_field_excerpt( $related->ID ); ?> then change custom_field_excerpt(...) method definition to:

function custom_field_excerpt($related_post_id) {
	$text = get_field('introduction', $related_post_id);
	if ( '' != $text ) {
		$text = strip_shortcodes( $text );
		$text = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $text);
		$text = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $text);
		$excerpt_length = 100; // 20 words
		$excerpt_more = apply_filters(‘excerpt_more’, ‘ ‘ . ‘[…]’);
		$text = wp_trim_words( $text, $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more );
	}

	return apply_filters(‘the_excerpt’, $text);
}

Hopefully, this will work 🙂
