 * Hi I’m completely new to this and struggling. Trying to insert a slider using
   Cyclone 2 into a WordPress page.
    think I’ve created the slider OK with images
   but where do I insert the short code to presumably attach this to a page? Can
   anyone help ? And please keep simples! Ta Jeff

 * shortcodes are suppose to be placed in the text of the post or page you are writing.
 * just write a new page and put in your `[shortcode]`
 * however you can also put them in a theme file
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode( $content ) ?>`
 * where $content is the shortcode code

 * Thanks JumboClicks
    I think I’ve done it somehow, at least the images appear 
   in a slider!
