 * Hello. I have a ecommerce wordpress with some custom .php files that output products.
   The plugin works fine as a shortcode inserted in the description of every product
   but i have a few hundred products and it will take forever to insert the shortcode
   in every one. So i was wondering if there is a php alternative of inserting the
   shortcode directly into the .php file that generates the pages.
    Thanks.

 * Im curious about the same thing.
 * There must be a way to display it with a
    ” <?php if(function_exists ” right 
   in the code. Anyone have any ideas how to do that?
 * thank you,

 * <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[example]’); ?>
 * where example is the shortcode you use in the editor in admin.
