 * I am using this plugin nuvuglide is a third party woocommerce plugin. I want 
   to hard code it on the home page this is the code that the plugin author says
   to use
 * ‘<?php do_shortcode(‘[nuvuglide type=”post” order=”ASC” order_by=’name’ show_excerpt
   =”true” show_date=”true” show_title=”true” show_gallery=”true” num_images=”4″]’);?
   >’
 * i get this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/bessobar/
   public_html/veeandjade.com/wp-content/themes/mystile-child/index.php on line 
   36
 * I’ve tried
 * ‘<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[nuvuglide type=”post” order=”ASC” order_by=’name’ 
   show_excerpt=”true” show_date=”true” show_title=”true” show_gallery=”true” num_images
   =”4″ ]’); ?>’
 * I tried double quotes instead of single and it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
 * I’ve also tried
 * ‘echo apply_filters( ‘the_content’,’ [nuvuglide] ‘);’
 * none of which works.
 * Any ideas where I could be going wrong please

 * change these quotes to double quotes:
 * `order_by='name'`
 * if this does not help:
 * – generally, make sure not to violate any php syntax.
    – please post the code
   in the context of the full template; use the pastebin [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code)

 * Well it’s working using this code
 * ‘ <?php do_shortcode(‘[nuvuglide type=”post” order=”ASC” order_by=”name” show_excerpt
   =”true” show_date=”true” show_title=”true” show_gallery=”true” num_images=”4″]’);?
   >’
 * It does not work if you use “echo” or have double quotes around the short code
   and args.
