# Featured Image Slider/Carousel?

 * Is it possible to have the featured image of the parent/front page be a slider/
   carousel? I would like to have the featured image at the top of the homepage 
   changing behind the excerpt. I have found various plugins for sliders/image carousels
   but I can’t find anything in their documentation/descriptions about replacing
   the featured image with a slider/carousel. I’m a newbie to all this so I appreciate
   any help. Thank you in advance!

 * Hi there,
    To answer your question would result in a larger discussion. A slider/
   carousel involves more than one image. For a normal post or page there is no 
   option to upload more than one ‘feature image’, which is a very specific functionality
   behind it.
 * You might need to go about it a slightly different way
    And you have some options:
   1) make the homepage a static page: Settings > Reading > Static page and just
   place a slider/carousel block on top of the homepage from one of the plugins 
   you already found. 2) Look for a theme, that provides this kind of functionality.
   3) you could put all the pictures into a small video, and add it to the cover
   block on top of the page. I am running out of ideas right now. If I think of 
   some more ways to accomplish this, I’ll add a comment here. Unfortunately, there
   isn’t a single answer to your question.
