 * If you have access to the theme files, there are a number of ways you can process
   shortcodes in excerpts, depending on the method used. For instance, if the excerpt
   is added to pages using `the_excerpt();`, you could change this to `echo do_shortcode(
   get_the_excerpt());`. Another approach would be to try the techniques outlined

 * I’m marking this as resolved as it is not about the plugin, but about shortcode
   execution in themes
