    Hello.

    I’m trying to add a shortcode in the footer but it its content does not appear, all I get is an empty shortcode, for example [myshortcode]

    I think I’m doing something wrong, can you please explain how I can place a shortcode in the header or footer?

    Please let me know.
    Thanks!

  • You have to use PHP.

    <?php

// Use shortcode in a PHP file (outside the post editor).
echo do_shortcode( ' [ my_shortcode ] ' );
	
// In case there is opening and closing shortcode.
echo do_shortcode( '[iscorrect]' . $text_to_be_wrapped_in_shortcode . '[/iscorrect]' );
	
// Enable the use of shortcodes in text widgets.
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );
	
// Use shortcodes in form like Landing Page Template.
echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="91" title="quote"]' );
	
// Store the short code in a variable.
$var = do_shortcode( '' );
echo $var;

?>

    You’re Welcome! ??
