Adding ShortCode to the Homepage

[drezac]

I'm having trouble adding a jquery custom slider to my Genesis Child theme

The code they gave me is:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[all_around id="1"]'); ?>

I'm trying to insert this on home.php, but getting an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/content/33/6807133/html/test/wp-content/themes/pintercast/home.php on line 34

Is this how I add shortcode to my Genesis theme, or is there another way?

Thanks!

If you are adding this code in a widget to execute, then you must use plugin to allow widgets to execute php code - http://www.basicwp.com/run-php-code-wordpress-text-widget/

This is not a widget. This is on the main front page. I've looked around and seen some people actually place code in the functions.php to insert their sliders. I tried inserting it on the home.php, but I get an error.

The instructions that came with the slider- were not Genesis friendly.

Thanks-

It's the All Around WP Slider Carousel. It's fantastic, but hard to squeeze into this theme.

I think you're spot on- the only problem I have, is that the theme I'm using has removed a lot of the Genesis hooks and added their own custom header stuff. You can see that code here: https://gist.github.com/drezac/f6915cb24202d04dc3a5

This is what I was thinking:

function all_around_slider_home() {
if (is_home()) {
echo do_shortcode('[all_around id="1"]');
}
};
/**

* @learn more http://wp.me/p1lTu0-9p4
*/
add_action('I_dont_know_what_hook_to_put_here', 'all_around_slider_home');

I feel like this is close....

I added :

function all_around_slider_home() {
if (is_home()) {
echo do_shortcode(‘[all_around id="1"]‘);
}
};
/**
* @author Brad Dalton – WP Sites
* @learn more http://wp.me/p1lTu0-9p4
*/
add_action(‘genesis_after_header’, ‘all_around_slider_home’);

Still gets broken....
