 * Is it possible to add a slideshow shortcode into a wordpress template? So far
   I’ve found a tutorial by [Chris Coyier](http://css-tricks.com/snippets/wordpress/shortcode-in-a-template/)
   which says to use:
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode]'); ?>` (with my own
   shortcode added in of course)
 * but this doesn’t work for me!
    It’s just outputting `!slideshow_deploy!` on my
   page 🙁
 * Any idea how I can do this?
 * Many thanks!!

 * If you go to your slideshow’s settings, you’ll find the ‘Avoid content filter’
   at the bottom of the page. If you set it to ‘No’, your slideshow should work.

 * You’re welcome!
 * No, I’m sorry. I think the initial space the slide is moved to the right is caused
   by a bug in the combination of different jQuery libraries used on the website,
   which makes the problem hard to find.
