WordPress – Add Shortcode In a PHP Template Page
This post shows you how to add a Shortcode in a WordPress PHP template page instead of adding it inside the content of a Post or Page.
1. WordPress’s do_shortcode() function
In order to do this, we need to use do_shortcode function:
do_shortcode( string $content, bool $ignore_html = false )
$content(required): where you need to pass the shortcode name.$ignore_home(optional): By default it isfalse. If you set it totrue, the shortcodes inside HTML elements will be skipped.
2. Usage
your-template.php
<?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode]'); ?>
3. Example
The below is an example showing how to add a Contact Form 7 shortcode in our WordPress PHP templage page.
my-template.php
<?php echo do_shortcode('[contact-form-7 id="100" title="Contact Form"]'); ?>
