I did make sure that the shortcode works, but it only shows up when implemented through the post/page editor.

If that’s the case, I would use is_home(), and reserve is_front_page() for a static front page.

I wanted wanted my front page to display my latest posts, and I know that the posts page and the homepage cannot be the same so I didn’t go with the static page option.

Ok, so I will set my reading settings to, “Front page displays your latest posts” since my homepage is my recent posts page and homepage. So can I then use this bit of code? `<?php ( is_front_page() ) {
do_shortcode( ‘[wowslider id=”28″]’ )
} ?>`

I’m kind of a novice at this, but I checked to see if it works in general and it does. I’ve used the is_home() before, I just don’t know how to use it with a shortcode. But I did check out the page

So if I wanted to display this shortcode <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[wowslider id=”28″]’ ) ?> , How would I do that?

So I can’t add anything like a slider to it?

Sorry, the responses that you are giving me are quite vague. I’ve been through a lot of these pages before, the reason why I came to this forum is to see if anyone can show me EXACTLY how to do this.

I took a look at at, but I’m kind of a novice at this and after looking through the article I don’t see anything about displaying only excerpts as opposed to posts

OK, but how do I display 5 excerpts from a certain category?

I am upgrading my wordpress, but to answer your question I’m using a twentyeleven child theme

What plugin did you use?
