 * Hi all,
 * I am looking to add shortcode to the right hand side of my header, using the 
   astra theme.
 * Please note that I Have not displayed a menu.
 * I added the following shortcode to the header.php file:
 * <?php
    echo do_shortcode(‘[wp-dt-custom format=”l, jS F o”] <br/> [wp-dt-custom
   format=”G:i”]’); ?>
 * How can I set it to be displayed to the right hand side, in the same place where
   the menu usually is?

 * Hello [@liftoffofficial](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liftoffofficial/)
 * I am not sure, why the code is not working unless it correct and fetching the
   correct data.
 * While we would recommend if you are using the same in the Child Theme otherwise
   the code will be flushed on updating the parent theme.
 * Also, if you are using the Elementor page builder we recommend using the [Elementor – Header Footer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-footer-elementor/)
   plugin which will help you insert the custom shortcode and display them as required.
 * I hope that helps.
 * Regards,
    Suman
