Why don't shortcodes work when a post is view on Home page but they do when viewing single post. You can see the issue here.
There are suppose to be two element's above the image - generated by JW Player and a custom shortcode, and one shortcode below the image - generated by Lightbox Evolution plugin.
Is the homepage pulling in the_excerpt() ? If so you will have to add this to your functions.php
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');
This will work if you are putting in manual excerpt. It shouldn't be stripping out the shortcode if you are using the_content() in your homepage template.
content not the_content nor the_excerpt. It's defined by this: function content($limit) { $content = explode(' ', get_the_content(), $limit); if (count($content)>=$limit) { array_pop($content); $content = implode(" ",$content).'...'; } else { $content = implode(" ",$content); } $content = preg_replace('/\[.+\]/','', $content); $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); return $content; } How do I modify your code and get it to work? I tried content in your code but it didn't work.
Why not just add another metabox for introductory text? You can set that up easily with this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/magic-fields-2/.
That way you can just use content and excerpt as they were intended...much less of a headache.
I think it's because of the function, you can use this plugin it can limit your excerpt, and you can also enable and disable the the shortcodes.
content? I use it because I use the_excerpt on my single post to display "introductory" text for a post.
