 * Since the theme sliders appear broken I am looking to use meta slider. I have
   the code to put in the template file, but not sure where I should put it.
 * Anyone pick this apart yet and can suggest the appropriate location to include
   the php code.
 * I am thinking in the header, where the other slider scripts are, but could use
   a little piece of mind before I start picking this apart.
 * Thank you,
 * Jamie

 * If anyone is wondering, it is in the header after the “<!–BEGIN .content–>” documentation.
 * This will make it appear on all pages, however.
 * If you want just on home page use this:
 * <?php if(is_home() && is_front_page()) {
 *  echo do_shortcode(“[metaslider id=336]”);
    }?>

 * Fix no longer required with theme update.
 * marking resolved.
