[Plugin: ShortCodes UI] Using shortcodes on Themes

    Is is possible to use shortcodes created with ShortCodes UI on my themes? I’m trying to include some shortcodes with the following code:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[featured-link]'); ?>

    But when I look at the HTML page, WordPress is echoing [featured-link] instead of the content of my shortcode. Is there anything in particular I need to do, or are the shortcodes created not compatible with themes for some reason?

    Hi,

    the plugin documentation mentions short codes can be called as template tags. Have you tried that?

    Hello,
    I see a mention of that on the Features list, but no actual documentation on how to do it, and the video also doesn’t say anything about it; I would assume that it is what I was doing. Do you know how that works?

    Try this:

    <?php featured-link(); ?>

    If it doesn’t work, try echoing it:

    <?php echo featured-link(); ?>

    Hi,

    the shortcodes are just like any other shortcode in WordPress which means that using :

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode_tag]'); ?>

    should , and does work just fine, make sure that your shortcode tags is set correct.
