How to get excerpt on custom front-page.php template?

[currentcreative]

I've been looking through the inc/setup.php code and I can see the excerpt filters are in there, but I can't seem to get it working on my homepage template front-page.php.

Understrap's default blog posts page uses index.php which pulls in loop-templates/content.php which just uses <?php the_excerpt(); ?> to show the excerpt.

But, when I put on the homepage, it shows nothing. I tried wp_reset_query(); and wp_reset_postdata(); after the main loop that grabs the homepage content, but it had no effect.

I think we're going to need to see some of your code to sort this out.
