Just do as follows..
in appearance–>editor–>edit index.php(Main Index Template)
search for #slideshow div and just before end of that div insert your codes to your custom images. Remember to give class name as ‘slide_cont’.
Example
<img src=”path to your image” class=”slide_cont” />
If you dont have your image already uploaded upload it via media and get the file url as the path to your image.
Hope this helps. still got doubts?? feel free to PM me.. 🙂
Can I embed a youtube video or a shadowbox link in the slider?
Is there a way to just hide the slider if I don’t wish to use it?
I’m using exility-light with child theme attached. It doesn’t seem to be posting the pictures in the slider, and while I do understand html and css, I don’t really understand exactly where the img paths should be placed in the code you have written above.
