I have created a custom plugin called “HomeRotateText” and I was successfuly able to activate it. I then opened an existing page called “test” and added the following code:<\/p>\n
<?php
\nHomeRotateText();
\n?><\/p>\n
When the test page displays it shows up the following text:
\nHomeRotateText();
\n?><\/p>\n
What have I done wrong? The contents of my file HomeRotateText is:<\/p>\n
<?php<\/p>\n
\/*
