Using shortcodes in template files

Hi,
I'm trying to use shortcodes within template files using the do_shortcode WP function, but they are not really working. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying with the toggle shortcode, but no luck:

echo do_shortcode('[toggle_container keep_open="false"]'); echo do_shortcode('[toggle title="Filter lessons"]Filter lessons content goes here.[/toggle]'); echo do_shortcode('[/toggle_container]');

I tried escaping the quotation marks, but that didn't help.

Thanks!

Hi,

Try this instead

echo do_shortcode('[toggle_container keep_open="false"][toggle title="Filter lessons"]Filter lessons content goes here.[/toggle][/toggle_container]');

And one more tip for anyone using this, if you want to add some PHP within the shortcode content, you need to concatenate like this:
echo do_shortcode('[toggle_container keep_open="false"][toggle title="Filter lessons"]Filter lessons' . $extra_php_stuff . ' content goes here.[/toggle][/toggle_container]');
