Slider in static home page

  • Good day,
    Like many others, I am struggling to include a slider on my static homepage. I have managed to get into a sidebar, but not on the main page.

    Here is a link to the website.
    You will see a picture of a boy. I ideally I would like to let the boy become a part of a slider with more images.

    I understand short codes, but I need help in creating a header widget. I believe that is the answer?

    Thank you
    Renier

  • Hello there,
    There are several things you could do,
    1. Create a header widget like you mentioned (Adding it to your functions.php file in your custom theme)
    2. Change to a theme that supports a change in header images (custom headers) like Twenty Eleven
    3. Add a Slider to header directly in the theme

    Here is some information regarding registering new widget areas in WordPress. As always test this on a “test” site, not directly on your live site, and when you are ready to publish it, BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP first.

    I hope this helps.

    the linked site does not seem to be based on WordPress.

    you might have a staging site for the customization in WordPress – in which case, please post a link to that site.

    what plugin are you using for the slider right now?
    what code are you using to get the slider into the sidebar?

    what theme are you using?

    Good morning.

    Thank you soooo much for the comments. I will try to do the header thing.
    It is the Vaudora child theme.
