# cannot render gallery shortcode on 404.php

 * I have a custom post type with an ID of 4, designated for global theme options.
   In the theme options I’ve got a custom field as wysiwyg for user to add the footer
   logos with default WP create gallery functionality. Code snippet WP generates
   for gallery below:
 * $footer_logos =[gallery size="full" ids="8198,8199,8197"]
 * It works great on all templates, except the 404.php
 * I’ve filtered it with apply_filters(‘the_content’, $footer_logos ) — this will
   not display the gallery. If i have other content in the wysiwyg like paragraphs
   or single images, it does display all other wysiwyg content on the 404.php, EXCEPT
   the gallery shortcode. Also tried do_shortcode with the string (this didn’t work,
   and strangely only rendered 2 of the 3 images),
 * I really like the WP default gallery, especially for this instance of footer 
   logos and unforseen # of columns, but for the life of me I can’t get the gallery
   shortcode to render on the 404.php, so i’m considering other options. This feels
   like a WP core bug,
 * I’d love it if WP can fix this in a next version! Or, if someone has knowledge
   as to why the shortcode won’t render on a 404.php, I’d love feedback. Thank you.

 * on your 404.php template, use
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode( '[gallery size="full" ids="8198,8199,8197"]' ); ?>`
