You need to consult any documentation for your theme – including anything on the developer’s site.

Thanks for you reply!
I have consulted everything I could find. I have searched extensively through the file structure on the server. Looked at at everything on the dashboard.
The developer of this site cannot be contacted.
I can’t figure out if the slideshow is a plugin (it doesn’t appear as one in the plug in section of the dashboard) or an embedded flash or something else. I can see the source code I need to change when I use view source from the browser. I just cannot locate where that code lives.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to search for this will be very much appreciated
It’s definitely the theme – not an additional plugin. Looks like the theme just cycles through the images h1.jpg – h5.jpg in the theme’s css/img/splash folder.
<div id="splash" class="container_12">
<img src="http://www.helitrax.com/wp-content/themes/helitrax/css/img/splash/h1.jpg" alt="" />
<img src="http://www.helitrax.com/wp-content/themes/helitrax/css/img/splash/h2.jpg" alt="" />
<img src="http://www.helitrax.com/wp-content/themes/helitrax/css/img/splash/h3.jpg" alt="" />
<img src="http://www.helitrax.com/wp-content/themes/helitrax/css/img/splash/h4.jpg" alt="" />
<img src="http://www.helitrax.com/wp-content/themes/helitrax/css/img/splash/h5.jpg" alt="" />
</div>
<!-- splash -->
You could either upload a new set of 960px × 450px images to the css/img/splash folder with the same file names. Or you could amend the code above to use a new set of images that you have uploaded via the Media Library but I’d suggest that you keep the image sizes to a strict 960px × 450px.

Thank you for your reply!
I already have uploaded a new set of 960px × 450px images to the css/img/splash folder with the same file names. That was easy.
I need to edit the code of one of the pages. There are 5 pages with the slideshow. Home uses h1.jpg, h2.jpg etc. Info uses info1.jpg, info2.jpg, etc. There is apage titled Guides that uses h1.jpg, h2.jpg, etc. The same as the Home page. I waant to change the names of this in the html to guides1.jpg, guides2.jpg, etc. That way we can have a unigue slideshow on th eguides page vs having the same one as appears on th ehome page.
How do I access that html? The only files on the server in the various themes directories are php and js and .jpg
Thanks for your help!
Your Info page must be using a custom template, yes? If so, can you drop a copy of that file into the WordPress pastebin and post the pastebin url here?
A copy of your theme’s header.php file might also be useful.

Thank you esmi!
I think I now see what needs to be done.
There are 4 lines of code in the original file that each references a page. Home, Info, Telluride and Trips. But, we have 5 pages with the slideshow on them. Home, Info, Telluride, Guides and Trips
We need a line of code that describes the Guides page. The Guides page is now, for some reason, using the Home “h” images for it’s slideshow.We want it to show it’s own unique set of images.
I appears you changed the “h” to “guides” in one line of the code. I believe will change the images in the slideshow on the Home page. That’s not what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to get the Guides page to display images (guides1.jpg, guides2.jpg, etc that I have placed in the appropriate image folder) in the Guides page slideshow. So it is unique and not the same as the Home page.
Am I correct that if I add a duplicate section of that code and change the appropriate “h” to “guides” I will have gotten this fixed?
Thank you very much! I am not very experienced with php and I want to be sure I don’t mess the site up.

OH I took a better look and now see more clearly what you did. Forget all that nonsense I wrote above. I get it now.
Thank you , thank you, thank you very much!!!!
No problem. 🙂 If it’s still not working correctly (ie I misunderstood the code), let us know and we’ll have another go at it.
