   I'd like to know how to successfully insert the shortcode into a template file instead of using it in a page or post. I know it's possible but I have no clue how to do it!

   I'm using the home.php file in my theme and would like to insert similar code as you would in a page:
   [nggallery id=1]
   I read that it has to be done using shortcode but I couldn't figure out why that doesn't work. Or maybe it's because I didn't enter anything in my functions.php file. I really don't know but hope someone else does!

   So I viewed this thread thinking it was the solution:

   After lots of testing, I was frustrated. I finally saw another suggestion and added my comment to the above thread.

   Use this code in any template file and it should work:
   <?php echo do_shortcode('[nggallery id=x w=width h=height]'); ?>
