 * Hello,
 * I currently have a banner header with Genesis enews widget I’m wanting to replace
   with MC4WP, as I don’t like the redirect to Mailchimps website.
 * I setup a new form (not displayed as my site is live) and I added an element 
   id to the shortcode as per the documentation, and then I hooked it into wp_head
   in Genesis.
 * The element id is not applying. I chose form-banner and tried to style it, and
   its not working.
 * Any suggestions?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-element-id-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * what do you mean with “hooked into head”?: How exactly does that look / work?
 * Are you executing php code, like do_shortcode() or are you able to just put a
   shortcode there or can you use normal wordpress widgets?
