Turning WordPress shortcodes into PHP
PHP files and template/theme files on WordPress do not translate shortcodes in regular [shortcode] format.
Instead a very simple solution is to use the shortcode and the do_shortcode function, inside a PHP echo tag opposed from using a function call.
- Copy and paste the PHP code into your WordPress template file with your shortcode.
To use a specific short code, change the text “instert_your_shortcode_here” to your WordPress theme’s shortcode of choice. That is unless you use a shortcode which looks like: [instert_your_shortcode_here]
<?php echo do_shortcode("[instert_your_shortcode_here]"); ?>
