Hey there. I am having the exact same problem. It is not possible to create a custom excerpt from a sub_field. The solution you suggested won’t work.

This is my code:

function custom_product_excerpt() {
$text = get_sub_field(‘text_left’);
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);
}

The sub field is a WYSIG-Field. I also tried it with a sub field of type textarea. Both don’t work.

Are there any suggestions?
