 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to add shortcode to the homepage but it doesn’t work (just shows up
   as text). Is there a way to do this? I want to have an image slider on the homepage.
   Please let me know if this is possible.
 * Or, convert the shortcode to php. The shortcode is:
 * `backticks`[su_slider source=”media: 72, 73, 74″ width=”1458″ height=”918″ title
   =”no” mousewheel=”no” autoplay=”0″ speed=”0″] `backticks`
 * Best,
    Jordan

 * [su_slider source=”media: 72, 73, 74″ width=”1458″ height=”918″ title=”no” mousewheel
   =”no” autoplay=”0″ speed=”0″]

 * I’m using Meta slider. And it can add a widget to your homepage. It lets you 
   add the slider widget to any section on you homepage so instead of using the 
   shortcode, you can just go to widget and add your slider.

 * Does anyone know the answer to the original question? I am trying to add a bouncing
   down arrow with this short code:
 * [echo-content-down-arrow id=”arrowDown” class=”arrowDown” size=”80″ type=”epda-
   icon-arrow-circle” animation_type=”bounce-effect-1″ color=”1776C0″ duration_time
   =”10000″ bouncing_speed=”2000″ move_to=”” scrolling=”false” disable_bouncing=”
   false” disable_duration=”false” ]
 * on the master slider of my homepage. Does anyone have any suggestions where I
   can put this code to make it work?
