I am afraid you won’t be able to display a NextGen Gallery within the email, as shortcodes will only work within WordPress.
You can, however, send a summary of your post to your subscribers instead of the whole post. To do so, please go to Settings > Reading in your dashboard, and set your Feed setting to “Summary”.
I believe this is related, but I am not certain. When using the sharing buttons from the Jetpack “Sharing”, the description will carry over any shortcodes that are at the top of the post.
I found somewhere that you should fill in the “excerpt” section on the post page, but that didn’t seem to have any effect.
Ideas? or suggestions?

@theidel The problem is different here.
When you attempt to share a post on Facebook for example, Facebook crawls the page, and looks for Open Graph meta tags in the head to build a complete post preview (with an image, title, description, …).
You can see what Facebook sees by entering one of your posts’ URLs in Facebook Debugger:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
On your site, you have actually added 2 sets of Facebook Open Graph meta tags;
- one is added by the WordPress SEO plugin, and contains correct information (without any shortcodes).
- The other set might be added by your theme, or by another plugin, but I would suggest that you remove it: the description tag includes the shortcodes, and Facebook gets confused when seeing 2 sets of open graph meta tags on a site.
I hope this helps.
Jeremy,
Thanks much. I will take a look at that.
I appreciate the help on this.
Thanks,
Tom
