Rendering Shortcodes in the Manual Excerpt Field

Adding the lines

add_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘shortcode_unautop’);
add_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘do_shortcode’);

in the theme’s functions.php file doesn’t seem to work anymore. I would like to add a shortcode from TablePress but only the code text is shown, e.g., [table id=16 /]
