Adding a different slider below the navbar

Hi

I love the Nirvana theme but even though the Presentation Page has a lot of options it doesn’t allow me to have a simple slider with a main-content section and a right sidebar (a basic layout in other words).

I have created a child theme and downloaded another slider plugin but I don’t know where to add the short-code I get from the new slider plugin in order to have the slider appear just below the nav-bar. I have tried putting it in the child-theme functions.php file and also created a frontpage.php file and put the code in that but neither worked correctly.

The shortcode is
<?php
echo do_shortcode(‘[smartslider2 slider=”2″]’);
?>

Can anyone help please?

My site is at moc.edifyclients.com at present.

Thank you in advance.

Tina
