php - Trying to use WP shortcode in HTML -

i'm trying make shortcode outside post/page in wordpress.

the problem is, when i'm placing do_shortcode() function, html automatically document php code (e.g <!--*php code* -->).

what can cause problem?

you don't place do_shortcode() in pages. somewhere in functions.php or shortcodes.php file set function , assign shortcode function.

function myfunction($params = array()) {     //function code here } add_shortcode('shortcodename', 'myfunction'); 

then once done can put [shortcodename] pages, inside square brackets that. there plugins allow run php , enter right on page, default shortcode functionality requires add shortcode first.
