 * Hello,
 * The shortcode in php shown on the plugin page does not work;
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[bc_random_banner]'); ?>`
 * I added this code from wordpress theme editor to footer.php file but banner did
   not appear on the site. I also created a file named randomb.php containing the
   php shortcode and uploaded it to the site home directory but it still didn’t 
   work.
