    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Do the posts have excerpt content? Can you please recheck this?

    This is my website: https://business.raina.com.tw/news/

    It displays excerpts correctly using normal PHP code!

    Could you please edit a post in the first comment and share a screenshot of the post excerpt?

    Using shortcode without any custom arguments yields the same result. I believe the {{ post.excerpt }} is malfunctioning, even when I change the theme; the result remains the same.

    I'm using content to automatically scrape the content. When I use the <?php the_excerpt();?> tag, it also scrapes automatically, so I don't manually input excerpt. Could you tell me how to configure it to automatically scrape excerpt? This would be more user-friendly, as not many users would write an extra summary! It's all scraped from content.

    Hello,

    If the post doesn't have the excerpt and you want to show the excerpt from the post content, you can use the code

    {{ mb.the_excerpt() }}

    use the proxy mb. to call a PHP function in the View editor. Following the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#running-php-functions
