Filter Shortcodes when using get_page

Question

I'm using the following line to show content from one page on another.

This line outputs the content's raw text of a shortcode:

<?php $id=3934; $post = get_page($id); $content = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content); echo $content;  ?>

How can I add to or filter this snippet to allow the shortcodes from said page to fully display, rather than outputting raw [/tab] text?

Answer 1

If you want to display the shortcodes in the string variable $content you can use the Wordpress function do_shortcode() like this:

 echo do_shortcode($content);
