 * I’m using the [one_half][/one_half] shortcode within the content editor on the
   posts page.
 * My problem is, on the index page, I’m using the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> call 
   to grab the first sentence from the post. When the post is wrapped in the admin
   columns shortcode the text from the post isn’t called.
 * Does anyone have a method to get around this? I was thinking having a filter 
   on the index.php page which could strip out the specific shortcodes would allow
   the text to be shown.

 * Hi I think you’ve posted this topic in the wrong plugin support page.
    I believe
   you want to post this topic on the column shortcodes plugin page?
