Shortcode not working

    I have installed and activated the plugin, and set the URL of the Custom Header Image on my specific page that is using a template. When I go to that template php file and try to add:
    <img “src=”<?php echo do_shortcode(“[image_url]”); ?>”>

    The shortcode doesn’t get replaced the with image URL. Pretty sure I am using this incorrectly, not sure how to get the custom image to display on the page.

    I put the:
    <?php if(function_exists(‘chi_display_header’)) { chi_display_header(); } ?>
    in my index.php after the get_header function

    Hello Kirsti, the shortcodes from the custom output function are not “real shortcodes” yet. They only work if used in the custom output function. But I think it is a good idea to provide this for future versions.

    The custom images will be displayed if you place the code correctly and of course you must have set image urls (otherwise you will not see anything).

    Make also sure that your PHP-Code is still valid after placing the header images function call.

    Please re-open, if this does not help.
