How to use shortcode inside page templates?
WordPress has a great function, do_shortcode(), that will allow you to use shortcodes inside your theme files. For example, to output Posts in a Theme file, you would do this:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[gs_wpposts theme="gs_wppost_grid_1"]'); ?>
GS Posts Grid’s shortcode usage
[gs_wpposts theme="gs_wppost_grid_1"]
GS Posts Grid’s Shortcode attributes Usage
[gs_wpposts theme="gs_wppost_grid_1" cols="4" num="9" desc_limit="250" group="" order"DESC" orderby="date"]
Shortcode PHP Usage
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[gs_wpposts theme="gs_wppost_grid_1"]' ); ?>
Template Usage – Add the shortcode anywhere you need to display GS Posts Grid in template files (header.php, front-page.php, etc.)
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[gs_wpposts theme="gs_wppost_grid_1" cols="4" num="9" desc_limit="250" group="" order"DESC" orderby="date"]' ); ?>
