 * Hello!
 * I want to have a background slider only in homepage, all other pages will have
   a static background image.
    I have the following conditional on my site (header.
   php) to change the background outside the home page but is not working. Really
   frustrated here!
 * <?php
    if ( is_home() || is_front_page()) { require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/slider.
   php’); } else { require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/slider2.php’); } ?>
 * Also I have a /#!/ on the theme url, is this causing this malfunction?
 * Thanks in advance.
