Hey all,

 

I know this can't be done by default but I am trying to get some shortcodes that I have built to show up in the excerpt and they aren't.

 

I have looked all around google and tried this :

 

 

<?php

add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'shortcode_unautop');

add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');

?>

I cant get it too work though. Could anyone point me to where I should look to change the default behaviour, preferably not altering the wordpress core directly though.

Many thanks.

We use the below in our WordPress sites to enable short codes in excerpts;

 

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

 

Note the '11' priority parameter.

 

Try incrementing the priority up and down until you get the desired result.

 

Cheers

 

Rich
