I want to add a slideshow in the header section of twenty eleven theme instead of header image. I have tried different plugin , but the only work into the post or int the widgets. they use the shortcode like [sample_slide id=”1″] . But , if I could use them into the header.php i might be satisfied. But it doesn’t work into the php code. What can I do ?
Header Slideshow
You can use the do_shortcode() function to execute shortcodes within PHP.
Although I’m sure a lot of the slider plugins out there have template tags which you can use to insert the slider into your header.php file.
