# Adding a Plugin's Shortcode to Theme's PHP Files

 * So I found a few threads asking this same question, but none of the answers were
   helpful to me. I’m having issues with the evolve Bootstrap Slider that I’m not
   getting help with (like the theme otherwise) so I want to add the Ultimate Responsive
   Slider to evolve’s header.php file to add the slide to the header of each page
   as opposed to the body. Assuming it exists, what is the php code for utilizing
   the shortcode for a plugin. An example of the UR Slider’s shortcode is [URIS 
   id=108]. Thanks for any help.

 * Adding a shortcode to a template page is actually very easy. You just need to
   [do_shortcode()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/)
   function.
 * An example would be like this:
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode ( '[URIS id=108]' ); ?>`
