Shortcode & PHP WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hello I am trying to show a custom field 'twitter-user' within a shortcode that is used within the theme of my site. Can someone help me with the correct code, I realise that the below won't work.

<?php echo do_shortcode('[twitter-widget username="<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'twitter-user', true ); ?>"]'); ?>

Thank you

Is bad formed, try with:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[twitter-widget username="' . get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'twitter-user', true ) . '"]'); ?>
