 * Hi there. I really like your plugin and it works flawlessly when I add a gallery
   to a post (custom post type). But I would like to include the gallery within 
   the php template using do_shortcode. However, when I do, the plugin no longer
   works.
 * In the post, I use [gallery columns="6" ids="56,74,55,54,53,52,51,50"]. In the
   page template, I use do_shortcode( ‘[gallery columns="6" ids="56,74,55,54,53,52,51,50"]‘).
   In both cases, the gallery displays without issue, html seems to be identical
   as does the location, but the do_shortcode version goes to an attachment page
   instead of using displaying with Simple Lightbox.
 * Any thoughts or ideas welcome!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fuse-with-do_shortcode%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
