How to add custom slider to homepage

best use plugin for this customization. and disable the built in slider in theme options.

Thanks…..but the challenge is adding the slider to the “virtual” blog page which is not in the list of pages.

Any recommendations?

add this to functions.php or wp-content/meso-custom-functions.php

<?php
function meso_add_custom_featured_slider() {
if('page' == get_option( 'show_on_front' )) {
$paged = get_query_var( 'page' );
} else {
$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' );
}
if( ( is_home() || is_front_page() || is_page_template('page-templates/template-blog.php')) ) {
if ( !$paged ) {
echo do_shortcode('[slider shortcode]'); //or echo $THE_SLIDER_FUNCTIONPHP;
}
}
}
add_action('bp_before_blog_entry','meso_add_custom_featured_slider');
?>

check if the slider had shortcode or php functions.

Thanks ?? Will try it out.

Thanks a lot Richie…..It worked….I now have a slider above my blog posts. Thanks again ??
