 * Hi
    i am using meteor slideshow to show images in news posts on our site. I dont
   have a problem creating the slideshow of embedding it into the post.
 * The problem comes when the post is displayed on the homepage as a ‘recent news
   story’
 * I use the code [meteor_slideshow slideshow=”slideshow name”] at the top of the
   post followed by some text about the news story. When i publish the post it works
   fine but then you go back to the homepage at the top of the news story before
   the text you can see [meteor_slideshow slideshow=”slideshow name”] follwed by
   the text.
 * Can anyone advise on what i am doing wrong?

 * Hi, make sure you are using the slideshow slug, not the name, like this:
 *     ```
       [meteor_slideshow slideshow="slideshow-slug"]
       ```
   
 * If you are seeing the shortcode, this is probably because the theme is using 
   excerpts on the homepage. If you want the slideshows to load use the full content
   instead. Or if you want the excerpts instead without the slideshows, add manual
   excerpts to your posts that don’t include the shortcode.

 * Hi
 * Thanks for getting back. I checked and i am using the slug. I have no idea how
   to add manual excerpts. Could you point me in the right direction?
 * i tried using fire bug to delete the line of code which works but when you refresh
   the page it comes back.
 * The website in question is [http://www.downwelldemo.co.uk](http://www.downwelldemo.co.uk)
 * The problem is on 2 of the “latest news” posts on the bottom of the page.

 * Firebug just edits the view you are seeing in the browser, it doesn’t have FTP
   access to edit your actual website files.
 * You might have to activate it in the Screen Options, but there should be an excerpt
   option in the post editor:
