Title: Missing Front Page Slider Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Missing Front Page Slider * Resolved [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/) * Everything was working fine until I deleted the front page slider (I was actually just trying to add a different photo). So I added it back in with the new photos and when I updated, the entire slider area is missing. I have the front page slider selected in the appearance/content/front page and it’s selected on the HOME page. Perhaps it is a child theme issue? Thank you in advance if you can help.

After adding the deleted slider, did you check whether this setting has that particular slider name? * Thread Starter [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579348) * Hi Menaka, Thanks – * The name of the new slider is selected from the pulldown, also “full width” is ticked. The HOME PAGE (static) has the same slider name selected. Maybe something is corrupt in my php files? * [Menaka S.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/menakas/) * (@menakas) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579358) * Hi, I could replicate the problem in my local installation. I shall get back on this. * Thread Starter [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579379) * Thank you! * Thread Starter [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579481) * Any luck with replicating the slider issue. I have now made several sliders and none of them are showing up. I have made sliders for other pages without any issue so I’m really thinking that the problem is with the php and unfortunately I don’t know php well enough to trouble shoot… I do have a child theme and can send post the php code from my functions or header if that would help. * [Rocco Aliberti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d4z_c0nf/) * (@d4z_c0nf) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579485) * Hello, the slider you set in the slider settings in the Customizer (Appearance- > Customize) should be named “home-page-slider” do you confirm that slider exists? * and would be better you test the issue without using the child-theme * Thread Starter [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579488) * OH No, I deleted the original slider and made a new one named “front-slider”, is THAT the issue? * Should I just create a new slider named “home-page-slider”? * [Rocco Aliberti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d4z_c0nf/) * (@d4z_c0nf) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579489) * Nope, you should go in Appearance -> Customize -> Content .. -> Front Page - > Slider Settings and choose the new slider. * Didn’t work? * Do you have any server side caching system active? * Thread Starter [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579490) * The new slider IS selected in Appearance -> Customize -> Content .. -> Front Page -> Slider Settings * No work 🙁 * Where do i check to see if server side caching is active? * Thread Starter [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579491) * I am researching the caching right now, I WILL find out * [Rocco Aliberti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d4z_c0nf/) * (@d4z_c0nf) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579493) * you can have a plugin doing that, but you should be aware of that, so I don’t think so. or there might be something your hosting provider does. I remember godaddy had some caching system.. Anyway your page still looks for ‘home-page- slider’. If you cannot find the reason you might try to create a new slider named the same way.. * Thread Starter [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579494) * No caching – I cleared it just to be on the safe side though. * Thread Starter [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579495) * Okay I will make a new slider and name it as you suggest, thank you for trying to help me – it is very frustrating…. * Thread Starter [zendeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zendeb/) * (@zendeb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-front-page-slider/#post-6579501) * It WORKED!
