 * I inserted the shotcode where I want the slider to display but was showing the
   code instead.
 * And I added this <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[promoslider]’) ?> but nothing show.

 * If you are seeing `[promoslider]` showing on the site, the issue is probably 
   that the plugin is not active. If you are seeing this:
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('[
   promoslider]'); ?>` then you probably inserted the code somewhere that it doesn’t
   belong.
 * Can you provide details as to where you want the slider to appear and where exactly
   you inserted the code?

 * I’m using this code now <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[promoslider id=”my_id” post_type
   =”post” category=”my_category”]’); ?>
    and I think is okay but the slide I inserted
   is not displaying rather displaying the former slide I used, even after I deactivated
   and deleted the plugins, still showing those slides, and the Promoslide only 
   show “Hello World” with no image. See this link [http://femialofe.com/](http://femialofe.com/)
 * I want to make my slider image one side and promo content the other side of the
   slideshow. i.e. if the overall slideshow width is 964, the image will use maybe
   600 and promo content and link 364. What do I need to do. Can you help in the
   code.
