    Hi,
    I would like to use a simple fullscreen slider/hero image slider with transparent header for my home page. I don’t really want to use a plugin, most slider plugins are too bloated with lots of features I don’t need, and I haven’t even found a free one that supports full height images beneath the header/main navigation.

    I have basic knowledge and experience with child themes, how can I add such a slider or can anyone recommend a very, very lightweight slider plugin?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Stevert, I’m a really big fan of Swiper check it out on github nolimits4web/swiper. Its not very light. IF you want a lighter version you can have a look at Flexslider the minified JS file is only 22.5kb. Or Owl Carousel 2.

    You can use wp_enqueue_script() (for JS file) and wp_enqueue_style() (for CSS file) to add the libraries to your project. See the examples in the WP Codex. Then just follow the instructions on the Sliders website on how to do the setup.
