thank you, this did the trick!
The particular plugins I am using that will not display are “meta-slider”, and “WP Logo Showcase Responsive Slider”, and as I said before even just simple images inserted through the post editor are displaying plain text shortcode on the homepage as well. However all of these display as they should on the individual posts.
I am using three different kinds of shortcode references as well, all of which show up as plain text but work on the full post page, so it does not seem to be plugin specific
This had no effect..at least in regards to the plain text shortcode
