Tell me more ×  I'm using a few plugins that have shortcodes ...
however, instead of creating a public page for the content, I've
created some new pages within the admin using add_menu_page and
I need to know how to utilize do_shortcode() within this
context.  As it stands, all the function does it spit out the
string. I'm assuming it's because the shortcode API isn't
available within an admin page.  How do I get around this? There
is no documentation that I can find that explains how to utilize
shortcodes within the WP Admin... or if it's even possible.
Specifically I'm trying to utilize WooCommerce shortcodes within
the WP Admin. I hate the fact that plugins don't utilize the WP
Backend for account/user management.  share|improve this

you could say shortcodes are for front end content ... Are you
trying to use another plug
