How add a shortcode in excerpt of masony portfolio

Hello,

I’ve a plugin which converts currencies. I want to put the prices into the excerpt field of the masonry. The plugin works fine in the text fields. I’ve asked the author how to do and they said that I need to add do_shortcode function to the excerpt field.

I’ve checked the forum and found several solutions which none worked.

Hi!
Excerpts do not support shortcodes by default but you can use the do_shortcode() function to execute them even if wordpress does not support them in excerpts. In your case you need to modify /wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/portfolio.php – open up the file and replace

$output .= !empty($excerpt) ? "<div class='grid-entry-excerpt entry-content' ".avia_markup_helper(array('context'=>'entry_content','echo'=>false)).">".$excerpt."</div>" : '';
with
$output .= !empty($excerpt) ? "<div class='grid-entry-excerpt entry-content' ".avia_markup_helper(array('context'=>'entry_content','echo'=>false)).">".do_shortcode($excerpt)."</div>" : '';
Cheers!

Hi Ben!

It’s on line 473 in /enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/portfolio.php.

$output .= !empty($excerpt) ? "<div class='grid-entry-excerpt entry-content' ".avia_markup_helper(array('context'=>'entry_content','echo'=>false)).">".do_shortcode($excerpt)."</div>" : '';
I just tried it and it seems to work fine. If it’s still not working for you then send us a link to your page and we’ll take a look.

Cheers!

Both changes nothing

Hi!

You could try doing the same on line 739 in the /enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/masonry_entries.php file.

$this->loop[$key]['content'] = do_shortcode($entry->post_excerpt);
Though I’m not sure it’s going to work the same in the Masonry. What type of content are you trying to add?

Elliott

But there is no line 739, it ends at 418.

Hey dewasurya!
Please add the below code in functions.php to enable shortcode in excerpts.

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');
Best regards,
Vinay

Changes nothing.

I have added in the following line to the helper-masonry.php file.

Line 406: $this->loop[$key][‘content’] = do_shortcode($entry->post_excerpt);

With that shortcodes work. However, it only lets me enter in theme shortcodes, and it won’t display custom shortcodes. Is this code only meant to show avia shortcodes, or is it simply a matter of the custom shortcodes plugin not working properly in your opinion?

Also, this has no effect.

How can I let the wordpress process shortcodes in excerpt fields of the masonry portfolio?
