 * I am trying to insert an image slide into one of my posts. I noticed your instructions
   were to insert the following short code into the themes function php for the 
   theme.
 * <?php if ( function_exists( “easingsliderlite” ) ) { easingsliderlite(); } ?>
 * Is this correct? Am I putting this code in the correct place.
 * I am using the Genesis Magazine Child Theme on my WordPress site, [http://www.entertainmentravel.com](http://www.entertainmentravel.com).
   I went to insert this code into the function php and received an error message.
   I have taken it out until I can clarify these instructions. My objective is to
   be able to place image slides within certain posts.
 * The button allowing me to post a slide images is on each post page. When I click
   on it in the post I get this: [easingsliderlite]
 * Where am I making my mistake?
 * Thank you,
    Michael

 * Definitely don’t place it into the functions.php file. This file is logic only
   and isn’t used in the templating process at all.
 * The main template files are header.php, footer.php, index.php, page.php and single.
   php. If you’re looking to replace your current theme slideshow then I have a 
   feeling it might be the index.php file, or header.php. I’m not sure though as
   I’m not completely familiar with the theme. Each theme differs.
