 * Hi –
 * Just wondering if it was possible to call the slider php code within a template
   instead of using the shortcode?
 * Unfortunately, our theme does not provide the capability of inserting shortcode
   where we require the slider to be placed.
 * Thanks so much!

   the shortcode in shortcode field
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('shortcode'); ?>`
