    Hi

    I have a custom shortcode that sits inside a text field.
    [myshortcode]

    I have added it to my php file using this code.

    <?php $value = rwmb_meta( 'size_guide' ) ?>
	<p><?= $value ?></p>

    Instead of outputting the content of the shortcode, its just showing the shortcode name on the frontend.
    i.e.
    [myshortcode]

    Can anyone help?

    Hi,

    You can use the WordPress function do_shortcode() to render the shortcode on the frontend.

    <?php $value = rwmb_meta( 'size_guide' ) ?>
<p><?php echo do_shortcode( $value ); ?></p>

    Read more on the documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/
