Wondering if I can use a shortcode in excerpts.

  • I have a slider that shows excerpts to the right. I’d like to add a button to this area but I have no idea how. I tried using shortcodes and that didn’t work. So I’m at a loss. Any suggestions, is this even possible?

    The webpage is https://thefinancialnavigator.net/ but its in maintanence mode, so if you can’t see a cached copy here is a screen shot of the slider: https://ScrnSht.com/ccaane

    Thank You

    Added :

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

    to my functions.php file.
    Worked like a charm.
