 * Hi
 * Instead of using a shortcode, I’d like to use the php function directly. Anyone
   knows how to call it ?
    Thanks

 * The best bet would be to use the `do_shortcode` ([https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/))
   function that is built into WordPress … just create the shortcode as you’d like
   to use it and then pass it as a string to that function.
 * I am looking at re-factoring the code for the plugin in (hopefully) the near 
   future, so this should avoid any problems in your code working with future versions
   of the plugin.
