Ticket #55883, comment 21
v1 v2 3 3 Is `apply_shortcodes()` really that much better (in plain English) than `do_shortcode()`. Is it really worth it breaking all references to `do_shortcode` just for the sake of changing `do` with `apply`? I think not. 4 4 5 `do_shortcode` has existed for many many years. It is referenced in a lot of places, online documentation, many posts, thousands of themes and plugins, many books, etc. Why would WordPress want to break all these references? It is the same as breaking links, b rings a lot of confusion.5 `do_shortcode` has existed for many many years.

It is the same as breaking links, bad UX and brings a lot of confusion. 6 6 7 7 I think it is a pretty bad idea to create all that confusion and broken references for such a minor benefit. A much better solution imho would be to update the docs, add as much content there as needed. That will serve all existing WP contributors and help all new contributors, and most importantly, will not break any links and references.
