 * Hi there,
 * I’m having a problem getting the shortcodes to work correctly. It just shows 
   the shortcode instead of the slider. I have added this to my theme functions 
   file add_filter(‘widget_text’,’do_shortcode’); /* Allows shortcode in widget 
   areas
 * echo do_shortcode(‘[cycloneslider id=”home-slider”]’);
 * But that is not solving it either. There are no js errors and I tested to see
   if it was plugin conflict and it was not. I’m currently using theme Reverie

 * Thanks so much for the help!
