By default, WordPress do not allows shortcodes to be executed inside custom fields. If for some reason you need to be able to execute a shortcode inside a specific custom field, here is an easy way to do it.
Just put this code into whatever page you are displaying the results of the shortcode, and change the your_custom_field_here to the name of your custom field.
<?php echo apply_filters('the_content', get_post_meta($post->ID, 'your_custom_field_here', true)); ?>

Why not just ID, ‘your_custom_field_here’, true)’); ?>
Since my last comment got partially eaten, why not just use do_shortcode() ?
Many thanks, it worked like charm
very good. thanks for sharing this. it worked.
Why use apply_filters beside do_shortcode function?
ID, ‘cfield’, true) )
echo do_shortcode(get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘cfield’, $single = true));
?>
