How can I call a WordPress shortcode within a template?
Make sure to enable the use of shortcodes in text widgets.
// To enable the use, add this in your *functions.php* file:add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );// and then you can use it in any PHP file: <?php echo do_shortcode('[YOUR-SHORTCODE-NAME/TAG]'); ?>
