   Let me see if I can explain this.

   1. In my template I am using this code to display a single post:
   $my_post_id = get_post ($postid);
   $my_content = $my_post_id->post_content;
   echo $my_content;

   2. There is a shortcut inside of the post that I am pulling with the above function. But when I pull that post using the get_post listed above, it gets returned as a string and the shortcode isn't executed. So when I do the get_post above, it ends up displaying the post as:
   Blah blah blah [my_shortcode_function foo="bar"] blah blah

   Any clues on how I can modify the get_post call in order to not turn any shortcodes into literal strings?

   try:

   echo apply_filters('the_content', $my_content);

   or

   echo do_shortcode( $my_content );

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode

   or (if you don't want the shortcode)

   echo strip_shortcodes( $my_content );

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/strip_shortcodes

   (all untested)

   You are a genius.

   I didn't try apply_filters yet, but do_shortcode did exactly what I needed. Much appreciated.
