    Hey, I am trying to run a shortcode out of a template file with the do_shortcode() function. What I am trying to do is to display a media file that way:

    echo do_shortcode("[embed width='400']http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLXpIojJkg[/embed]");

    Unfortunatley that doesnt work. I have tried using other shortcodes that way and they work fine, Ive also tried to use that shortcode in a post and that also works fine. I just cant get it to work in the template file. Anything I am missing here?

    Thanks and best regards
    Kriesi

    try

    echo apply_filters( 'the_content', '[embed width='400']http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLXpIojJkg[/embed]' );
