    That worked! I didn't realize the text widget worked for short codes.

    Thanks so much for all your help!

    WP Responsive Recent Post Slider
    The shortcode is [recent_post_slider] so I was actually using
    echo do_shortcode('[recent_post_slider]');
    when I tried it on the site.

    Thanks so much for the fast response! This has been really helpful!
    I am still struggling with where exactly to put the code. Maybe you can help me? I am in public_html/wp-content/themes/author-pro/front-page.php trying to insert the following code:
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[name_of_shortcode]'); ?>

    I've also tried just
    echo do_shortcode('[name_of_shortcode]');
    inside the existing PHP.
