Hi @inforesist

I’m not sure which thread you are referring to, but could you please try this code?

function custom_field_excerpt() {
    global $post;
    $text = get_field('wysiwyg_test', $post->ID);
    if ( '' != $text ) {
        $text = strip_shortcodes( $text );
        $text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
        $text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
        $excerpt_length = 20; // 20 words
        $excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . '[...]');
        $text = wp_trim_words( $text, $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more );
    }
    return apply_filters('the_excerpt', $text);
}

Hope this helps.
