Good question. You can do that with a bit of editing. WordPress doesn’t allow shortcodes to be run inside of a “custom field” which is what the hero caption and title are. Here’s what you’d need to change in order for that to work.

I copy and pasted the <?php echo do_shortcode(“[bible-verse-display]”); ?> into the hero caption and it didn’t do it.. I went back to edit it and it wasn’t there like i didn’t save and tried it again and it did the same thing..

Gotcha. Instead of this

<?php echo do_shortcode("[bible-verse-display]"); ?> 

which you would use in an actual template file, you’ll want to just use the shortcode part which would be this:

[bible-verse-display]
