# shortcode displaying in post excerpt

 * Hi!
    In the process of working on a site, and wondering if anyone might have 
   an idea to help solve this issue.
 * I am using [Grid Theme Responsive](http://www.dessign.net/grid-theme-responsive/)(
   free version; and have emailed them if they might have a solution, as they use
   Cyclone Slider2 and showed how to set it up — which is how I found this slider!).
 * In this theme, the latest posts are displayed as a grid of featured images; hovering
   over one of the images displays the post’s title and an excerpt. However, mine
   is displaying the slider’s shortcode in the excerpt. I have set it up exactly
   as shown in the theme overview video, and their live-demo-preview does not have
   this same problem.
 * Am I missing something? How can I ensure that the shortcode does not get displayed
   in the excerpt, but still have the slider show up?
 * Thanks for any assistance!
