 * The slyd slider doesn’t show in a sidebar or a post. I’ve tried Shortcode in 
   text editor, shortcode in php text widget, php code in template file. For me 
   it has only worked with a slyd shortcode placed into a page text editor…
    Theme
   used : basic (themify free theme)

 * Slyd definitely wasn’t built to work in a sidebar, though I’ll look into adding
   a widget for it.

 * You can make your theme support shortcodes in text widgets by adding
 *     ```
       add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
       ```
   
 * to your functions.php or in a plugin
