    I want to replace the 3rd text box on the homepage with a quote rotator. Its a plugin called Content text slider on post. Is this possible?

    Link to the plugin site:

    @martyn: Sorry I don’t know about that plugin much. they said that have shortcode. You can add that. Also for plugin, it’s better to ask plugin author as we don’t know about that plugin code.

    When I place a short-code on the Homepage Featured Content Options page it displays the short-code as text.

    Would there be a way to display a smaller slider in the last featured content area? I’m trying to show logos and or quotes that rotate.

    @martyn: Sorry for security reason that homepage featured content will not accept the shortcode. Let me contact you though email so that I can check the plugin in your site.

    The website is currently on a personal server. The closest I got to have a quote rotator on the home page was by using Flexi Quote Rotator plugin and placing it as a footer widget. However it would look a lot better if it was contain in one of the three featured content area.

    @martyn: You can work on with child theme and them add option to accept shortcode. We cannot do that for parent theme.

    @martyn: After you build child theme, you need to create functions.php file in your child theme. Then copy the whole function catcheverest_homepage_featured_content() from catcheverest-functions.php file to your child them functions.php file.

    Then add do_shortcode before $options[ 'homepage_featured_content' ][ $i ] See more details about shortcode at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode
