    Hi. Excellent Plugin. I’m very excited to get it out live and working.

    I can see that it works in an existing sidebar straight out of the box. I didn’t copy home.php or any other file.
    Now I really need it in the header. And this theme has no Header Widget.

    I have a separate Header and Footer plugin that lets me input php and html to be injected in the header and footer of site and/or pages.

    (1) How can I call the WP-Card widgets via php, html and/or shortcode or do I put something directly in a template file? And if so, what would that be?
    I tried the following call in the header/footer plugin but it didn’t work like a shortcode – it just put the word ‘wpcardsjumbo’ on the page.
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[wpcardsjumbo]'); ?>

    I made up the shortcode name (wpcardsjumbo) on the Shortcode Setting Toggle in Dynamic Widgets -> Edit Options. Is this how it’s supposed to work? Is it as easy as me just making up a name?

    the site is soldiersrr.com
    It’s under construction, but the wp-cards examples are in the sidebar and footer.

    (2) Also I would like to make the WP-Card popup up by Clicking on a button. Is this possible?

    Thank you so much. I’m having trouble finding a dynamic header and this will work so great. I’m excited to make the header happen.

    Thank you for your excellent effort and ingenuity on this plugin.
    Shelly

    Hey Everyone, in case you need this too. I found this on another post.
    Add the following code to your header php or the Header Footer plugin

    <?php require('wp-load.php'); get_header(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Worked like a charm.
    Love this plugin. Thanks again. It is ideal for so many things just like the author explained in his writeup.
