Gallery will not stretch to full page when inserting via shortcode

Hello,

I love the plugin but there is one issue I am experiencing. I would prefer to add my gallery (build with Visual Portfolio Plugin) via a short code in my actual php file, like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode (‘[visual_portfolio id=”79”]’); ?>

Technically this works, the gallery will show up in the section where I placed the shortcode, but there is lots of margin to the left and to the right when I do it that way. Even when I select ‘stretch’ in the respective Gallery, it will not actually stretch to the sides to fill out the entire page.

However, when I drop the shortcode into the Gutenberg Editor like this:

[visual_portfolio id=”79″]

it actually does work. Can anyone tell me why this isn’t working when I add the php function with shortcode to my files? I would prefer it that way

thanks!

it does work as expected and will stretch to sides. But
