    Hello, I’ve tried this

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[mycred_sell_this price="1" button_label="" expire="24"]'); ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[/mycred_sell_this]'); ?>

    but it does not work -Twenty Ten Theme – with [/mycred_sell_this] showing.

    Tried this too

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[mycred_sell_this price="1" button_label="" expire="24"]');
the_post_thumbnail();
echo do_shortcode('[/mycred_sell_this]'); ?>

    That is not a correct way to use do_shortcode(). You must start and end a shortcode in the same do_shortcode() call! You can find more information on how to use the do_shortcode() function in the WordPress Codex.

    OK, now I understand. A little php for me… Thanks for quick answer.

    Sorry to come back but I did not manage to make work

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[mycred_sell_this price="1" button_label="" expire="24"]'. the_post_thumbnail() .
'[/mycred_sell_this]'); ?>

    In this case, the post thumbnail is showing even if not connected.

    Well you are using the the_post_thumbnail function which will echo the results instead of returning it. The correct function would be get_the_post_thumbnail.

    Thank you. I must admit it’s more difficult that I thought. I am so used with the_post_thumbnail function.

    No worries. The WordPress codex is your best friend and it’s the one page I frequently visit. In general, most functions that echo values have a return counterpart with the same name but with get_ in the beginning i.e. get_the_title() and the_title().
