                   <li><a href="#tab_grubu_3-3"><span><b><strong>Descargalo</strong></b></span></a></li>
   
                   <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Second Line: (Key and content of Custom Field)
 *     ```
       <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'part3', true) ) : ?>
   
             <div id="tab_grubu_3-3" class="clearfix">
   
               <div class="video">
   
                 <?php $key="part3"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>

 * do you mean you have shortcode within your custom field, and want to execute 
   it when you show the field?

 * example:
 * `echo do_shortcode(get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true));`

 * what is the exact content of your custom field?
 * it might be that `[plusviral]` is no shortcode;
 * does the code come from a plugin?
    if so, what plugin?
