Thanks! I tried do_shortcode with a very basic shortcode and it did work, so must be my shortcodes.
For anyone else that might be reading this ticket – this is the code to put in your functions.php to return your excerpt with the html in your poi:
function rawpoi($excerpt, $raw) {
return $raw;
}
add_filter(‘mappress_poi_excerpt’, ‘rawpoi’, 10, 2);
