I went into the editor for plugins and inserted the code listed above in the file
smart-wysiwyg-blocks-of-content/includes/class-swboc-front.php
Then I entered the code [smartblock id=<SWBOC_post-name-for-the_smart_block_I_created_using_underscores>] on the page however nothing new appeared on the page.
I am trying to put widgets in the middle of a page so I can have static content on a front page.
Any thoughts?
