How to get_post_meta in a shortcode in excerpt on archive pages

The do_shortcode function runs on the the_content hook:

402   
403   add_filter('the_content', 'do_shortcode', 11); // AFTER wpautop()

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.1.1/src/wp-includes/shortcodes.php#L403

So, without seeing your theme code I am going to guess that your theme’s archive page is written in such a way that the do_shortcode function does not fire– possibly because it uses the_excerpt instead of the_content. If that is the case, you can force the processing of shortcodes with:

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');

However, you will need to watch that as some shortcodes may generate content that you don’t want in the excerpts.
