# executing generated shortcodes

* I’m using “Photo Gallery” plug-in and W3-data.
Then there is a page where I
want to display one gallery (of photos) per user. So using w3-data I generate
the short-codes that I would like to have executed.
* An example of a generated short-code is:
[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”21″ gal_title
=”Name of User”]
* The generated short-codes are correct; if i hard-code the generated codes they
generate the wanted galleries.
* For some reason it seems not possible to immediately execute the generated short-
code.
* What is the best way to get the desired result.
* I’ve tried to use a plugin to execute the PHP code, But that doesn’t work!??
* **Insert PHP**

* ```
[insert_php]
echo do_shortcode("{{Best_Wordpress_Gallery}}");
[/insert_php]
```

* Hi, [@pvanbavel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pvanbavel/). Have you tried
it this way:
* ```
echo do_shortcode( '[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id="21" gal_title="Name of User"]' );
```

* Thnx. I hadn’t tried this before but this code works fine
``
* BTW, the `[insert_php]` shortcode does not work.
* I’ve now removed all code from the WordPress Page and put it into a template
file. So executing PHP is no problem anymore.
* However I still have a problem with my page and that is that the above solution
is hardcoded.
* The short-code string is correctly contained within `{{Best_Wordpress_Gallery}}`
If a put `{{Best_Wordpress_Gallery}}` into a variable and put that variable into
the below statement, things don’t work anymore. What am I doing wrong?
* Following is the complete source:
* ```
{{Naam}}
{{Best_Wordpress_Gallery}}
☰ Namenlijst
```
* The result should be a separate section per artist, consisting of his/her name,
a small photo gallery and a “Namenlijst” (=’NameList’) button
* Much appreciated if you could help me out.
