I created a view that is a slider of quotes.
I want to display the slider on every page just above te footer. How do I translate the shortcode of the view [wpv-view name="getuigenissen-slider-pagination"] in php so i can implement this in footer.php of the theme?

I used https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views-api/#render_view but it is but there is less documentation for a non-programmer.

example of the slider working on a testpage: hidden link

Hi there

If your View name is getuigenissen-slider-pagination then you would use the render_view function in your PHP template like so:

echo render_view( array( 'name' => 'getuigenissen-slider-pagination' ) );

Do you want to try that and check that it works?
