[wp-pro] Fw: Need a simple fix (I think)

[Bill Erickson]

First, make sure you're putting the shortcode in the html view, not visual
view. If you're still having a problem, check to see if you've written any
functions that use add_filter('the_content','[your function]');

Make sure your function ends in return $content, NOT echo $content. When it
echos, it is effectively returning NULL to subsequent filters, including
do_shortcodes().

I made this mistake and it took forever to figure out why shortcodes weren't
working on a client's site.
