Post Excerpt

The current post's excerpt — its hand-written summary, or an auto-trimmed one. Like every block in the library, it is a second authoring surface, not a second renderer: the canvas preview and the front end are produced by the same server-side code as the page builder, so the output is identical either way.

Options

Select the block and open the Settings (block) tab; the whole sidebar is generated from the element's option schema, so it stays in step with the page builder.

Option	What it does
Excerpt	Shows the post's manual excerpt, or an automatic trim of its content.
Styling (text_color, text_align, font_size_preset)	Colour, alignment and size.

The block also opts into WordPress Margin / Padding (and, where it makes sense, alignment), which inherit the site's design system from theme.json.

:::note Reads the current post This block outputs data from the post in context, so it renders where a post is being viewed — a single post, or a post inside a query loop or template. On a plain page there is no post for it to read. :::

Sample content

A block stores only what you change as one upOptions object; the element's declared defaults fill in the rest at render time. The demo above is:

<!-- wp:unysonplus/post-excerpt {"upOptions":{}} /-->
