Hugo refers to it as **excerpt**. https://gohugo.io/content-management/summaries/#:~:text=more%20tag%E2%80%9D%20or%20%E2%80%9C-,excerpt,-separator%E2%80%9D%20in%20other <!-- github-comment-id:1364590303 -->

@jeffabailey I think this is a misconfiguration in your frontmatter.json file for the content-type field. Front Matter does not use the excerpt field, so it is a manual configuration. Would you be able to check this?

Interesting. I didn't configure this, but it's there.

I've updated the field, and now it's showing up correctly.

Thanks!

Thanks @jeffabailey for the update. How did you create the content type? The content-type configuration looks like it was generated from an existing article, so I believe it was misspelled in one of the articles where you let Front Matter create it.

Glad you found it.

I'm not sure.

I migrated from Wordpress to Hugo, but I don't see a reference to exercpt in the code.

It created the content type. I'm guessing there was a typo on my part along the way.
