The query the loads the slider doesn’t include pages. To modify the query you’ll need a child theme. If you’re not currently using a child theme, follow these steps:
1. In Theme Options click the Help tab in the upper righthand corner.
2. One of the options in the list is to download a sample child theme. This downloads the theme zip file to your local computer.
3. Install the new theme in your Admin panel by selecting Add New > Upload Theme > Choose File, then select the zip file you downloaded.
4. Activate the child theme.
You’ll now have a pre-configured child theme with a style.css file and functions.php file to which you can add customizations.
Next, copy the parent theme /inc/featured.php file to the same path in your child theme.
In the file in your child theme, the query is at the top:
$featured = new WP_Query(
array(
'no_found_rows' => false,
'update_post_meta_cache' => false,
'update_post_term_cache' => false,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => ot_get_option('featured-posts-count'),
'cat' => ot_get_option('featured-category')
)
);
Add the ‘post_type’ argument in the array:
$featured = new WP_Query(
array(
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'page' ), // include pages
'no_found_rows' => false,
'update_post_meta_cache' => false,
'update_post_term_cache' => false,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => ot_get_option('featured-posts-count'),
'cat' => ot_get_option('featured-category')
)
);
The slider should then include the page(s) in the category you select.
