Wordpress - Rev Slider not replacing shortcode

So, Basically I have a Revolutionary Slider plugin installed and created one slider. I added the shortcode : 

[rev_slider alias="home-original"]

on the homepage. But the slider is just not replacing with the shortcode. The shortcode is displaying as it is on the homepage. I also tried the do_shortcode() function in the header.php but the same occurs.

When I tried this 

shortcode_exists('rev_slider')

It prints false. I also tried this

 $active_plugins = (array) get_option( 'active_plugins', array() );

And it shows the rev slider is active. What more should I try?

Solution

  • I use this to manually add shortcode in PHP:

    <?php echo do_shortcode( '[rev_slider alias="slideshow"]' ); ?>

    Maybe you forgot to use echo
