Slide show on the main page

  • Hello guys,

    In wordpress you can add a slide show of a gallery in your pages and posts, but I would like to add it on the main page – not inside the borders of a page or a post. If it was just a single image, I could use HTML to add it, but in this case do I need to code the slide show in php?

    Or am I getting something wrong here regarding the main page vs new pages you add in wordpress?

    Thanks in advance,
    Omer

    It would depend on how the theme in question handles the front page.

    Thank you Steve
    I found a nice solution, you can download a plugin for this. I downloaded Easing slider, and then you can write a php command, for example in header.php to activate the slider. That way you can make it apear wherever you want to. The command is:

    <?php if (function_exists("easingslider")) {easingslider(type here id name);} ?>

    Honestly I discovered that inside the parenthesis you have to write the id name for the specific slider you customize in wordpress, but I’m not sure how I was supposed to discover that information.

    Anyway, hope it helps
