 * I’m struggling to work out if it is possible to load a Meta Slider plugin conditionally,
   i.e. if the screen is larger than mobile (so mobile users don’t get the slideshow).
 * I was planning on doing this like so:
 * `$('.homepage__slider').load('wp-content/themes/mytheme/slider.php');`
 * With the content of slider.php being:
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id="8302"]'); ?>`
 * …but it turns out you can’t use short codes with ajax.
 * Is there a way of calling for the slider without using a shortcode perhaps?
