Shortcodes in Featured Content

Hallo Catch Themes team, I found some older questions here that shortcodes are not working in the featured content area. Is this still true? Would be very sad because I use a lot of shortcodes in may pages and without it the featured content is quite useless :( I already created a child theme. If you have a php solution for the shortcode problem I really would appreciate if you could post it here! Best regards, Gernot
