Post excerpts in Pinboard

I posted first about this in “How to Customize the Theme’s Content Area” topic but then realised it would be more helpful it separately.
I really appreciate Daniel’s help, he’s been so helpful! Here is a copy of my first two posts in that original topic:

Hi Daniel,
I have my posts displayed in 4 columns. Everything looks great, am really happy with your theme. Just one thing I can not resolve and wonder if there are any options available to make it to work. I constantly use shortcodes in my posts [like for example a shortcode for a Like/Dislike button]. In posts excerpts all shortcodes are ignored. Is it be possible for them to be recognised somehow?
Thanks in advance.

Add this to your functions.php file:
add_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘do_shortcode’ );

Daniel, I can’t even tell you how impressed I’m with your products and with the way you conduct you business. I’ve tried more than 20 different themes and honestly, I wouldn’t put them even close [even deactivated] to your one. Then you replied just few hours after I submitted my question! What can I say – top notch stuff!
Man, it didn’t work. Unfortunately.
It still ignores my shortcodes. I use 2 of them – one for a table from Tablepress and one for Like buttons from Likebtn.
I put that line you recommended right below this [at the very bottom of functions.php]:
if ( ! function_exists( ‘pinboard_copyright_notice’ ) ) :
/**
* Display notification no posts were found
*
* @since Pinboard 1.0
*/
function pinboard_copyright_notice() {
$copyright = pinboard_get_option( ‘copyright_notice’ );
$copyright = str_replace( ‘%year%’, date( ‘Y’ ), $copyright );
$copyright = str_replace( ‘%blogname%’, get_bloginfo( ‘name’ ), $copyright );
echo esc_html( $copyright );
}
endif;
Thanks a zillion!

You are probably not using a custom excerpt but have it generated automatically. In this case shortcodes are stripped automatically by WordPress. You can either add a custom excerpt for each post or add this code in functions.php:
remove_filter( ‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘wp_trim_excerpt’ );
add_filter( ‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘pinboard_trim_excerpt’ );

function pinboard_trim_excerpt($text = ”) {
$raw_excerpt = $text;
if ( ” == $text ) {
$text = get_the_content(”);

$text = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $text);
$text = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $text);
$excerpt_length = apply_filters(‘excerpt_length’, 55);
$excerpt_more = apply_filters(‘excerpt_more’, ‘ ‘ . ‘[…]’);
$text = wp_trim_words( $text, $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more );
}
return apply_filters(‘wp_trim_excerpt’, $text, $raw_excerpt);
}
