Programming slides on the fly

You can use shortcodes inside a php file with

echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=1479]');

So you could add to a functions.php file with something like this:

add_action ('__after_header' , 'add_meta_slider_to_pages');
function add_meta_slider_to_pages() {
	if ( is_page(62) ) {
		echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=1479]');
	}
}

In my case, the __after_header hook is in my theme. You’d need to find a suitable hook in your own theme, or use one of WordPress’s.
