 * Hi team,
 * I would like to add a shortcode inside a text_area variable but unfortunately
   it does not work for me…
    Tried to use do_shortcode function like this:
 * blablabla
    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[myshortcode=”id_number”]’); ?>
 * but result shows only blablabla
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated…
    All my best Phil
