Using shortcodes in custom fields

    Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?

    I’ve seen this recommended:

    <?php echo ( do_shortcode( get_post_meta( $post->ID , 'custom-field-name' , true ) ) ); ?>

    But it’s had mixed results, for a portfolio list shortcode it only posts one item and doesn’t display an excerpt as it does elsewhere and for a google map shortcode it creates the div and sizes it correctly but has no content.

    Cheers.

    Technically it should work, however make sure your shortcode has all the correct parameters for it to work ok.

    To see if that’s the case, do something like this first: 

    <?php echo ( get_post_meta( $post->ID , 'custom-field-name' , true ) ); ?>
