 * Hello I don’t know, why shortcodes in excerpts won’t be executed. “Execute shortcodes
   in excerpts” is checked, the test-outputs are correct, but in the excerpts the
   shortcodes don’t appear. Pls help! Regards, Sebastian

 * I have just tested this and it should work.
    Where is your excerpt shown? Home
   page? Widget? What theme are you using? (it only works if the filter _the\_excerpt_
   is called)

 * Ah thx, I found it: excerpt() instead of the_excerpt() was called in my theme.
   I changed it to the_excerpt() and now it works. Where is actually the difference
   between these both callings?

 * Ah! An experimental (own) excerpt-version of the theme. Everything clear. Thx!
   Problem resolved.
