# Shortcodes on pages

 * Hi,
 * I’m developing a plugin for wordpress and I’m trying to use shortcodes to add
   content to posts and pages. I added a shortcode handler for it like this:
 * function foobar_shortcode($attr) {
    ob_start(); include($pluginpath . ‘foobar.
   php’); $ret = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $ret; } add_action(‘foobar’,‘
   foobar_shortcode’);
 * Now [foobar] works on posts, but not on pages. So how can I get shortcodes to
   work also on pages?
