    Hi everybody,

    I am using a template which doesn’t accept the shortcode of [wpsm_comparison_table id=”1″]
    Actually, this template has a problem with spacing in the shortcodes. For example the space between _table and id=1. Once I put the mentioned shortcode like <?php echo do_shortcode("[wpsm_comparison_table id="1" class=""]"); ?> in the template, I cannot load the website.
    Please kindly help me with this issue.

    Regards,

    You’re mixing up quotes in a way that isn’t valid PHP. If you write do_shortcode() like this:

    do_shortcode( "" );

    Then whatever is inside the quotes, "", will be parsed for shortcodes. But if you write the shortcode like this:

    [wpsm_comparison_table id="1" class=""]

    Then the first " will close the quotes inside do_shortcode(), breaking the code.

    You need to use different quotes for each part. Use single quotes for the do_shortcode() function, and double quotes for the shortcode:

    do_shortcode( '[wpsm_comparison_table id="1" class=""]' );

    See the article on Strings in the PHP Manual for more information.

    What do you mean by:

    I am using a template which doesn’t accept the shortcode

    What theme is it?

    ps. I recommend moving away from a theme that uses shortcodes because that will make it a little harder to switch themes down the road.
