Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/devsrealm/quick-summary-plugin/archive/refs/heads/master.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Usage
Goto any template part you would like to display the value of the quick summary field, be it a content, below your post title, under featured image, and if you prefer, above the sky ;)
Then, add this:
$summary_title = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'quicksummary_title', true );
$summary_textarea = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'quicksummary_textarea', true );
if ( is_singular( get_post_type() ) && '' !== $summary_title && '' !== $summary_textarea ) {
?>
<div class="c-summary">
<p>
<?php echo esc_html( $summary_title ); ?>
</p>
<section aria-label="quick summary" class="article__summary">
<p>
<?php echo esc_html( $summary_textarea ); ?>
</p>
</section>
</div>
<?php
}
else {
echo '';}If you want to customize the summary box in your post, you can swap the classes for your use cases, e.g you can change the c-summary class to something different and style it the way it fits your use case.
