How to put slider on home page before posts?

@visualastic,

You will probably have to edit your theme’s home.php or front-page.php template file, if one of those exists. I can’t say for sure which template file you need to edit because every theme works differently.

However, you can just drop this code in your template file were you want the slider to appear:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[promoslider]' ); ?>

As you can see, the shortcode is in the brackets above and can support any of the attributes just like you would normally do within a page, post or text widget.
