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]');<br>
<br>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().<br><br>I made this mistake and it took forever to figure out why shortcodes weren't working on a client's site.<br>
