 * I have a feed [custom-facebook-feed id=artworks.rct]
 * …..which works in the main run of the page but
 * <? do_shortcode(‘[custom-facebook-feed id=artworks.rct]’); ?>
 * in the template on the same page doesn’t work.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hey Chris,
 * Try echoing it like so:
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[custom-facebook-feed id=artworks.rct]'); ?>`
 * Let me know whether that works for you,
 * John

 * Lovely, thank you very much John.
 * The literal nature of code slaps the casual hand once again
