Use shortcodes in terms description? [closed]

I believe the following should work:

<?php
  $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
  $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt;', $content);
?>

You could put this in the template of in a hooked functions.

I’ve cribbed this from here and here, where the intention is to write content from get_the_content() (raw) in an equivalent way to the_content() (amongst other things: parsed shortcodes).

Good luck!
