I want use shortcodes in de ‘wysiwyg’ type. example: [contact-form-7 id=”32″ title=”Contactform”]
But nothing happens, i see only the code and not the contactform.

I would not use een special field en then use de echo do_shortcode..

i found de solution! i found this code:
<?php echo apply_filters( 'the_content', rwmb_meta( 'wsmbox_page_two_columns_text' )); ?>
the “wsmbox_page_two_columns_text” is the metabox field id.

That’s correct. The field doesn’t apply any filters to make shortcode runs. The filter the_content does that. But you might want to use just do_shortcode() function as the_content often triggers some other unexpected functions (like social plugin might hook into it to insert social buttons).
```
$text = rwmb_meta( 'wsmbox_page_two_columns_text' );
echo do_shortcode( wpautop( $text ) );
```
