Excerpts on Pages

Add the following to the Functions.php file…

/**
 * Enables Excerpts on Pages
 */
function enable_page_excerpt() {
  add_post_type_support('page', array('excerpt'));
}
add_action('init', 'enable_page_excerpt');

Adding it manually is a bad idea and I should stop being lazy so here is the same thing as its own plugin!

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Enable Excerpts in WordPress Pages
Plugin URI: http://www.icenidesign.com/
Description: Enables Excerpts on pages

*/


function enable_page_excerpt() {
  add_post_type_support('page', array('excerpt'));
}
add_action('init', 'enable_page_excerpt');

Save it as a php file in a folder of the same name and upload it to the plugins folder.
