   Is this possible? I'd like to create a text link (see: Portfolio link @ http://www.deyoungmedia.com) to pop-up a lightbox effect with full images.

   Is this possible?

   Thank you.

   It is possible to insert shortcodes into post and page.

   If you need more information, you could visit the documentation here.

   Thanks for your answer. I've been able to insert them into a post and a page, but this is my homepage and I am not clear how to do this. On this page, I added all the content in the index file, not through the WordPress admin.

   Then you would directly call the function which was registered to the shortcode in your index.php. Example below.

   `
   //[foobar]
   function foobar_func( $atts ){
   return "foo and bar";
   }
   add_shortcode( 'foobar', 'foobar_func' );
   `

   Call foobar_func($arg) in your index.php

   to use shortcode in a php template, try

   <?php echo do_shortcode('[wheatevershortcode]'); ?>

   @alchymyth I tried that and for some reason or another it's not working.

   some things in square brackets are no real shortcodes;

   in this case, try:

   <?php echo apply_filters('the_content','[wheatevershortcode]'); ?>

   if this does not work, please post the real example shortcode and post where the shortcode comes from - plugin or theme or selfmade...
