EDIT: I managed to get the slider to appear, but I still can’t get the shortcodes to work. Should I just use HTML in the page template, or is there a way to make the shortcodes render as code instead of text? Very close to getting this to work!
EDIT 2: Installed the shortcode plugin. BLEGH. Okay, I guess the only issue I have left is getting rid of the space between the nav and the slider, but I think I can figure that out. Going to leave this up as a public record of my stupidity!
EDIT 3: Fixed. You can delete this whole post at will 🙂
