From the is_home Lugada function documentation:
If you set a static page for the front page of your site, this function will return true only on the page you set as the “Posts page”.
If you, as me, have chosen a static page as home page, is_home() is returning “false”. Changing is_home by is_front_page at the end of header.php file makes slider appear at my static homepage. By the moment images do not display, but this issue seems unrelated.
