can't get this to work in clean twenty eleven

Does the slideshow show when you using the PHP function without the is_home() if conditional?

It could be that the page you are trying to view the slideshow on isn’t triggering the is_home() function, hence the slideshow isn’t showing.

Yes. I now have it working with this
<?php if (function_exists('easing_slider')){ easing_slider(); }; ?>
and this
<?php easing_slider(); ?>

but with this, nothing happens
<?php if (is_home()){ easing_slider(); }; ?>

It’s in the right location and everything. I love the slider. Can you explain what i need to do to have it display just on the home page?

thanks for your help!

Ok I got it. Your question helped me find it. This is what works perfectly for adding the slider to the header of home page only.

In Twenty Eleven:

I inserted this code
<?php if (is_front_page()){ easing_slider(); }; ?>
right after the closing header tag </header>

That puts the slider below the navigation which is exactly what I want.

Hope this helps someone! This is a really great plugin, but it sure would be nice to have a simple but complete installation and set up guide. I’m not seeing that anywhere. Not complaining, but still.

Glad you managed to figure it out! ??

turiyamoore,

I’m trying to get my slider header below my nav/buttons as well and just on the homepage. I had some issues in Firefox that I seem to have kind of fixed. I currently have the slider on just on the homepage, but its under the static header and the rest of the pages are good with their static header images. Also, when I just place the slider header in place of the static header code, my nav/buttons won’t work. I think (thanks to MatthewRuddy) that it’s most likely due to my hack coding skills. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Oh, and just in case, the current site is https://www.hutchmd.com/reeders

I may or may not be tinkering with things to try to figure it out, but chances are if you go to it, it will still be jacked.

Are you using the current versions of WP and Twenty Eleven?

You can hide the header image through the dashboard.

I’m a bit new at this to be helping you. But happy to try.
The way it looks right now that seems to be the only issue on the home page and the other pages are not showing the slider so it seems you are making progress!

Hello again…ok, I think I’m making some progress here. Now, I have the sliding header on the homepage only and the featured images for the headers of the other pages. My current issues is that the static header on the homepage is also showing up under the sliding header. I tried to turn off the header images, but then the headers on all the other pages obviously disappear. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks again,

Hi,
even if my menu is below, I get the same exact problem: in my home page I get the slider (centered), the default image just under it (centered), and the main menu.

Still unable to fix it. I have just created a new post about this problem.

If you find something, please let me know.
Thanks.
A.
