Slider not showing Excerpt text on Wordpress Company template by template Square

When i first set up this template it worked fine.  However after a few weeks of changes the excerpts that go with the slides aren't displaying.  As pictured here.

To sort this out this is what I did.

OPEN.

wp-content/themes/company/slider.php

FIND around line 55 

[code]  if($sliderDisableText!=true){
                               $output .='

';
                                if(!empty($post->post_title )){
                                $output .='

'.$excerpt = get_the_title().'

';
                                }
                                $post_excerpt = $post->post_excerpt;
                                $output .=''.$excerpt = get_the_excerpt().'
';

[/code]

REPLACE with:

   if($sliderDisableText!=true){
                               $output .='

';
                                if(!empty($post->post_title )){
                                $output .='

'.$excerpt = get_the_title().'

';
                                }
                                $post_excerpt = $post->post_excerpt;
                            //    $output .= var_dump($post);
                               $output .='

'.$post_excerpt.'
