Shortcode in Excerpt not working in Portfolio Grid

Is it not possible to do this?

Hello Nikko,
actually I don’t think it will work like this.
Every Portfolio Item has a different shortcode inside his excerpt so a general shortcode in the Postslider function will not work.
Or, maybe I just don’t understand what you think I could?? I can’t see how modifying the postslider function itself could help me show a shortcode for each individual item.
I just need that the in Portfolio Grid view the shortcodes I have in the items excerpt shows correctly.

Thanks for your help.

OK, thanks for all the help ;)

I finally found a way to show the shortcode inside the excerpt!

I copied:
$excerpt = apply_filters( 'avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt', $excerpt, $prepare_excerpt, $permalink, $entry );
from postslider.php (Line 639) into portfolio.php (Line567) and added this code into my child-themes functions.php file:

function avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt_custom($excerpt, $prepare_excerpt, $permalink, $entry ) {
	$excerpt = do_shortcode( $excerpt );
	return $excerpt;
}
add_filter('avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt', 'avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt_custom', 10, 4);

Now the shortcode gets executed correctly.

And to make it save for future Theme updates I used Nikkos suggestion and copied the portfolio.php into a new created folder “shortcodes” inside my child theme and added this code:

add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
  $template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
      array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');

  return $paths;
}

into my child-themes functions.php file to make it use the file from my shortcode folder instead of the original file.

Thanks
Gregor
