 * Hi!
 * Thank you for your great plugin, we’re using it with great joy!
    My client asked
   if he can add the linkedin link on his partners page. So I thought if I create
   a ACF Field on which he can add the link and use that shortcode in the exerpt
   we can display the linkedin profile.
 * But at default the plugin doesnt load in shortcodes in its excerpt. Is there 
   a way to achieve this?
 * Cheers
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-loaded-in-excerpt%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * , but I don’t recommend it.
 * A better approach would be to use the output filter to append the LinkedIn link
   to the excerpt, like this: [https://gist.github.com/billerickson/1f04a137e26ba5fc72cc4111b1413bd5](https://gist.github.com/billerickson/1f04a137e26ba5fc72cc4111b1413bd5)
