   I'd like to enable the use of shortcodes in the text areas. For example, when I use OptionTree with a genesis child theme, there are shortcodes available for use in the footer text, so if I make the footer text editable with an option, I'd like to take advantage of the shortcodes. at the moment, it just renders the shortcode without executing it.

   In you theme use the following code to render the shortcode:

   echo apply_filters('the_content', $textarea);

   Where $textarea is the value of your saved textarea from a get_option_tree() function call. Hope that helps. I'll look into a more permanent solution during the next development cycle.
