Hi Elliott,

Thanks for your suggestion, I did try that, and the value was appearing. But I actually got it working!

The problem was the double quotes in the shortcode.

[fancygallery id="1" album="6"]

If I removed the double quotes, it worked.

[fancygallery id=1 album=6]

But I could not tell the client to always delete the double quotes when inserting a shortcode, so I kept the short code as-is:

[fancygallery id="1" album="6"]

and within advanced custom fields, I changed the format setting for the Text field type to “Convert HTML into tags” instead of “No formatting”

It works now!

Thanks,

JC

Hi all, here is an update.

I am using a text input field to add a shortcode. My shortcode looks like this:

[fancygallery id="1" album="6"]

in my php page, I am doing this:

<?php
	$myvalue = get_field( "cf_custom_gallery" ); 

	
    echo do_shortcode("$myvalue");
?>

but it is not outputting. If I manually do this:

<?php
	
    echo do_shortcode('[fancygallery id="1" album="6"]');
?>

it works.

ANy suggestions ?

Thanks,

JC
