 * My target
    Frontend input (form of 1 field) for a page or custom post type. A
   visitor will enter data in the field and click SUBMIT. Then the data will be 
   inserted into a shortcode of a plugin. Only after that, the plugin with the updated
   shortcode, will run and display in the front end the results. As an example –
   the visitor enters a YouTube Video ID in the frontend [https://youtu.be/VYuwwXG5i20](https://youtu.be/VYuwwXG5i20)
   and then he clicks SUBMIT. This will have the page in the backend with [embedyt]
   [https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=UUkYAlrLUqmg5AvQbg7qNHLw&layout=gallery%5B/embedyt%5D](https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=UUkYAlrLUqmg5AvQbg7qNHLw&layout=gallery%5B/embedyt%5D)
   which will then used by the plugin [https://www.embedplus.com/](https://www.embedplus.com/))
   to create a video gallery of all videos of a channel.
 * This is just an example. The problem is how to run the plugin AFTER the front
   end data gets into the shortcode.
 * Anyone can help?
    Thanks!
