    Hi support,

    I am trying to use the slider on the main image on the twenty 17 theme.

    I have created the slider and have a slider ID but I do not know where I need to add this to show it as the header. When I go into the customise theme section all I can do there is upload an image but not add any code.

    I’m fairly new to wordpress so please can you make the answer as straightforward and easy to follow as possible. That would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Richard
