Shortcodes in Excerpts – Posts Grid

Can you try adding this to your theme functions.php and see if that works for you –

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');

Hi there, sorry for the delay.

I tried adding that to my theme’s functions.php file, but unfortunately it didn’t work.

I have successfully changed the excerpt length and ‘read more’ text with these codes further up in my functions.php file:

  // Add Read More to Excerpts
function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
    return ' <a class="read-more" href="'. get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . '">' . __('Read More...', 'your-text-domain') . '</a>';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more' );

//Filter the except length to 80 characters.
function mytheme_custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 15;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'mytheme_custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

The following code works for me with the free version of the plugin.

add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');

The premium version of posts grid has a setting which helps process shortcodes and preserve formatting.
