Enclosing Shortcode not working in a Template

The shortcode wraps something in header tags. For the shortcode to work you need to provide that something.

Your code above works fine, you just need to set $content="My header text"; prior to echoing the shortcode in your template. currently you are not wrapping anything in the header tags.

But you shouldn’t need to use a shortcode for wrapping in HTML tags- just use the html:

<h1> My header text</h1>

rather than

   <?php echo do_shortcode( '[datecode]' .'My header text'. '[/datecode]' ); ?>
