Description

Searches content for shortcodes and filters shortcodes through their hooks.

Usage

<?php echo do_shortcode( $content ) ?>

Parameters

$content

(string) (required) Content to search for shortcodes

Default: None

Return Values

(string) 

Content with shortcodes replaced by the output from the shortcode's handler(s).

Examples

add_filter( 'the_content', 'do_shortcode', 11 ); // From shortcodes.php

// Use shortcode in a PHP file (outside the post editor).
echo do_shortcode( '[gallery]' );

// In case there is opening and closing shortcode.
echo do_shortcode( '[iscorrect]' . $text_to_be_wrapped_in_shortcode . '[/iscorrect]' );

// Use shortcodes in text widgets.
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );

// Use shortcodes in form like Landing Page Template.
echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="91" title="quote"]' );

There is an exception to the built in embed shortcode available with WordPress. In order to use this shortcode with do_shortcode, you can do the following:

$embedurl = 'http://yourembeddableurl.com';
if (!empty($embedurl)) {
       $var = apply_filters('the_content', "[embed]" . $embedurl . "[/embed]");
	echo $var;
}

Notes

If there are no shortcode tags defined, then the content will be returned without any filtering. This might cause issues if a plugin is disabled as its shortcode will still show up in the post or content.
