Wordpress shortcode in custom post type

I'm trying to post a shortcode in a custom post type that has the function to add news but it just keeps displaying the shortcode itself and not the shortcode content.

In my theme's functions.php I have added:

add_filter( 'insertPages_init', 'shortcode_unautop');
add_filter( 'insertPages_init', 'do_shortcode' );

and the function in my insertpages plugin is as follow:

function insertPages_init() {
    add_shortcode('insert', array($this, 'insertPages_handleShortcode_insert'));
}

Making a post from the custom type post still just prints the shortcode instead of its content. I can get it to work as i wish using example:

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

and that works just fine.

How can I get my custom post type to accept shortcodes?

I think the problem on insertPages_init filter, the general form of adding a short code is :

function footag_func( $atts ) {
    return "foo = {$atts['foo']}";
}
add_shortcode( 'footag', 'footag_func' );

and if you want to load on init action like :

add_action( 'init', 'load_footag_shortcode' );

function footag_func( $atts ) {
    return "foo = {$atts['foo']}";
}

function load_footag_shortcode(){
add_shortcode( 'footag', 'footag_func' );
}
