 * Hi.
    I was wondering, if it is there a chance to use Shortcodes in Category post
   excerpts. I was trying many options, e.g.
 *     ```
       add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');
       add_filter('accesspresslite_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');
       ```
   
 * and so on, but nothing worked.
 * Can anyone help me?

 * Firstly overwrite the function accesspresslite_excerpt .. Because we have stripped
   the html tags of the content..
