can't add action to 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap' hook

[SRD]

// Home Page Slider

Hi. I'd love some help with the following code in our child theme's functions.php, aimed at inserting the 'home' Rev Slider on the front page.

function mhm_do_home_slider	() {
	echo do_shortcode('[rev_slider alias="home"]');
}

if(is_front_page()) {
	add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'mhm_do_home_slider' );
}

The slider alias is correct, and the front page has been selected in Settings > Reading.

However, the slider does not appear.

Help appreciated.

add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'mhm_do_home_slider');
function mhm_do_home_slider() {
if ( is_front_page()) {
echo do_shortcode('[rev_slider alias="home"]');
    }
}

Better using the PHP method with the sliders function call and also test if function_exists otherwise the shortcode will output on the front end without executing if the plugin is inactive. Example

Beaut, that example has provided me with:

function mhm_do_home_slider() {
	if ( is_front_page() && function_exists( 'putRevSlider' ) ) {
		putRevSlider("home", "homepage");
	}
}
	
add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'mhm_do_home_slider');

which works now.

Thank you.
