# [Plugin: Columnizer] problem with shortcodes

 * I am using a plugin in my wiki category page to list the posts in that category
   but i need it to be in multiple columns.
    So i found the Columnizer and thought
   brilliant.
 * I tried this in my template :
 * <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[threecolumns]’); ?>
 * <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[catlist categorypage=yes orderby=title order=ASC post_type
   =incsub_wiki]’); ?>
 * <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[/threecolumns]’); ?>
 * But it keeps printing on the page [/threecolumns]
 * Can you help me out with this as i must be missing something ?
 * I even tried
 * <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[threecolumns] [catlist categorypage=yes orderby=title
   order=ASC post_type=incsub_wiki] [/threecolumns]’); ?>
 * But that does the same too.
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanx
    Justine

 * [RESOLVED}
    This is what i did to get it to work :
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[threecolumns]'.do_shortcode('[catlist categorypage
   =yes orderby=title order=ASC post_type=incsub_wiki]').'[/threecolumns]'); ?>`
 * You can see the example at [Columizer in Action](http://www.exousialinux.org/wiki/categories/exousiawiki/)
 * Thanx anyway.
