 * Hi 🙂
 * Love the plugin … v nice work !! just a quick query … I have created a new post
   meta box container … and it is all working fine except for one thing … Shortcodes
   are not working with the rich text editor … the actual Shortcode code appears
   on the front end, rather than the output.
 * I have checked the “apply shorcodes” box … Is there anything else I need to do
   to make it work?
 * Many thanks in advance

 * Hi projectmunton,
 * normally that’s the purpose of the Apply Shortcodes checkbox, but the information
   you are providing is not sufficient enough for me.
 * I’m not sure what’s where. Could you please provide a more detailed description
   of your setup, mostly:
    1. Is the shortcode contained within a Rich Text/WYSIWYG field?
    2. Is the shortcode in a field that is in a repeater? In this case you might need
       to use get_uf_repeater() instead of get_uf(). The parameters are the same.
    3. Are you using the get_uf() / uf() functions at all or you are using get_post_meta(
       or get_option)?
 * I’ll be waiting for your reply 🙂

 * Hi … I must apologies for my late reply, I didn’t seem to get the reply notification
   in my e-mail … and my project suddenly took a different direction which meant
   I got distracted.
 * I appreciate the reply 🙂
 * I am using the shortcode in the rich text editor …. and have the apply shortcode
   box checked in the Container Field settings.
 * If I add some text … and give it a H1 etc … that all appears fine
 * If I add a gallery using the rich text editor …e.g. [gallery ids="850,841,836,803"]
 * I see no gallery in the front end … and just “[gallery ids="850,841,836,803"]”
   in the code
 * This applies for any other shortcode
 * I am using <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘rfgallery’, true); ?> to add 
   it to the post template
 * Many thanks again
