 * I type in a shortcode into a post and it doesn’t do anything. For instance, if
   I create a gallery like:
 *     ```
       [gallery ids="171,170,160,150,144,139,138,136,135,134,
       132,131,129,128,127,125,123,118,116,117,112,94,91,33,26,
       21,20,19,12,8"]
       ```
   
 * And insert it into a page, it displays as:
    [gallery ids="171,170,160,150,144,139,138,136,135,134,
   132,131,129,128,127,125,123,118,116,117,112,94,91,33,26, 21,20,19,12,8"]
 * It seems to be an error in my theme because it works with twenty fourteen.

 * Turns out it was an error in my single.php. I didn’t have a correct while statement
   for pulling the post content.
