Add WordPress Shortcode Directly in a Template File

Place this in your theme template file where the shortcode should execute.

PHP

<?php echo do_shortcode('[your-shortcode]'); ?>
 

Be sure to replace any single quotes (‘) with double quotes (“) within your shortcode to prevent PHP errors.

Dave Winter focuses in WordPress UI Design and WordPress Plugin Development (some have labelled him a fanatic) but has hands in many other projects, including photography and music. He's never far from a computer... or an iPad (for testing purposes, of course). If you've been to a WordCamp in Southern California, he probably already knows who you are (or maybe not - he's terrible with names). Dave currently teaches courses at California State University, Long Beach alongside his small business at dauid.us (and his students think he's pretty boss).
