    Using the snipit to Add content above featured pages, I want to add a metaslider below the current slider, but above the featured pages circles. The meataslider gives me the following shortcode to embed [metaslider id=201], but then all I see is the shortcode, not the slider itself. I can get the snipit to work fine if I just want to see a headline or other text, but cannot get the metaslider to appear. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Remove the snippet code and add the following to the functions.php of your child theme:

    // Add metaslider after the header in the front page of site
add_action ('__after_header' , 'add_metaslider_to_front_page');
function add_metaslider_to_front_page() {
	if ( is_front_page() ) {
		echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=201]');
	}
}

    ElectricFeet, thank you for your quick reply. The metaslider now works, but the metaslider is above the Customizer slider, and I want to place the metaslider below the Cutomizr slider so that both are showing at the same time (and both are above the Feature Pages circles). The metaslider will be a “Ticker Tape” style ribbon and is intended to replace the current words “Kiesel Law LLP has recovered over … ” http://www.kbla.com Thanks for your help

    Well the slider is added with default priority, which is 10. If you change the priority of MetaSlider to 15 with:
    add_action ('__after_header' , 'add_metaslider_to_front_page', 15);
    it should show up later.

    I have followed these steps and added a slider in my header.I already have a logo and the slider is displayed below it.
    How do I get to display the logo and slide in the same line (logo on left and sloder on right)?

    This is the perfect code but I would like to add a small space between my navigation and the slider. Right now the slider is showing directly underneath the navigation buttons. Can’t find any info anywhere else! Please help
