shortcode on "manage custom fields"

Hi,

By default, WordPress do not allows shortcodes to be executed inside custom fields.

If the custom field wasn’t dynamically generated, but “hardcoded” in a template, you could change the normal php snippet that outputs the custom field:

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

with this:

<?php echo apply_filters('the_content', get_post_meta($post->ID, 'your_custom_field_here', true)); ?>

But in this case, enabling shortcodes in custom fields is much more complex and not something I’d personally know how to do…

I’ll ask Vikas to tell us if there is an easy way or not.

Thx
