How can I display the _result_ of the `[discourse_sso_client login='Login Through the Forum']` shortcode in a php template in wordpress? That is to say, this is a template not represented by a page or post but a raw php/html template.

You can use the shortcode in a template either by calling `do_shortcode` or by directly calling the function that’s used to create the shortcode content.

either:

```plaintext
<?php echo do_shortcode("[discourse_sso_client login='Login Through the Forum']"); ?>

```

or:

```plaintext
<?php echo discourse_sso_client_shortcode( array( 'login' => 'Login Through the Forum' ) ); ?>

```
