In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to execute WordPress shortcodes in templates.
As you may know, WordPress shortcodes won’t execute if you just copy and paste them in .php templates directly.
[map]You need to pass them to do_shortcode function first.
E.g. if you’re trying to display a map in a template you can do this. Replace the word ‘map’ with your own shortcode and paste the code below into your file.
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[map]' ); ?>That’s it, it will now execute your shortcode in WordPress template file.
