shortcode in a custom metabox

I noticed that your are using get_the_content(), but it will return unfiltered content.

The shortcodes are generated via the the_content filter with priority 11.

So if you want

  • only the shortcodes generated, try:

    'content' => do_shortcode( get_the_content() )
    
  • to filter it through the_content filter, try:

    'content' => apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() )
    
  • to simulate the_content() function, try:

    'content' => str_replace(']]>', ']]>', apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() ) )
