   Hello,
   I am having trouble displaying shortcodes correctly on my main post content. (Example - You can see all the [soundcloud id='']. I know it's not a problem with the plugin because no shortcodes work.)

   Instead of using:

   <?php the_content(); ?>

   I am currently using:

   <?php echo preg_replace("/\< *[img][^\>]*[.]*\>/i","",get_the_content(),1); ?>

   which hides the first image from each post because my featured image is automatically displayed on top. However, even when I replaced what I'm currently using back with the normal 'php the_content' code it is still not displaying my shortcodes correctly. Is there a way to filter the first image out and include shortcodes via function.php OR some other workaround? I feel like it's something easy I'm overlooking causing this error.

   Thanks in advance!

   you could try:

   <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', preg_replace("/\< *[img][^\>]*[.]*\>/i","",get_the_content(),1) ); ?>

   or:

   <?php echo preg_replace("/\< *[img][^\>]*[.]*\>/i","",apply_filters('the_content',get_the_content()),1); ?>

   or:

   <?php echo preg_replace("/\< *[img][^\>]*[.]*\>/i","",do_shortcode(get_the_content()),1); ?>
