Re: shortcodes not working in post excerpt

[Casey Bisson]

I've submitted a bug to WordPress on this, but it has yet to get much
traction.

http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7093

My solution, for the time being, has been to add the filters in the
bSuite plugin, though as of today that fix is only in the trunk version:

http://svn.wp-plugins.org/bsuite/trunk/bsuite.php

The following code fixes the problem, you just need to put it in your
availability plugin or in amongst almost any other code that gets
executed in WP:

add_filter('the_content_rss', 'do_shortcode', 11);
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode', 11);
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'do_shortcode', 11);
