How can I use a shortcode in a WP custom field?

[Aakash Chakravarthy]

You can simply use [sc name="my_shortcode"] as custom field value.

While displaying the custom field, you have to call do_shortcode( <the_value_of_custom_field> );

In which file do I place the do_shortcode

I did put do_shortcode( “pricemonth” ); in the functions.php of my child theme. Does not work

[Aakash Chakravarthy]

You have to use retrieve the custom field value like below

$cf_value = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'pricemonth', TRUE);

and then use it on do_shortcode

echo do_shortcode( $cf_value );

Thanks,
