I can confirm that it is called Featured Content Gallery: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/featured-content-gallery/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/featured-content-gallery/) * The problem is the setup does not specifically tell me where I can place it.

In your case, add the following code at your home-page template.php * * **For placing content inside the gallery:** If you’re just using the default settings, you just need to use the **articleimg** custom field. Simply add this custom field to each post or page you’re featuring, and add the full URL to the image you’d like to display in the value. If adding custom thumbnails, custom text, or alt tags you need to add the thumbnailimg , featuredtext or alttext custom fields. * If you need more help regarding custom fields, feel free * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-placing-a-code-please/#post-2613571) * No – don’t use ABSPATH.

Do the following as a quick test. Place the PHP code for the gallery inside template“ header.php”, you can leave it there, if you want the gallery to be available, the same way as your logo for all content. Just test it. If you need it, in any other place, tell me how and I will tell you where. * **If the Featured items are not showing:** Then custom fields are not set properly, advice,and will guide you through. * Thread Starter [youngr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youngr/) * (@youngr) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-placing-a-code-please/#post-2613654) * I’ve just placed the code into the header.php and nothing is coming up for some reason? * [Nihad Nagi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nihadnagi/) * (@nihadnagi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-placing-a-code-please/#post-2613679) * Switch to another template, and try doing the same thing.

Is there no other way? * Or maybe I could get a different plugin? * [Nihad Nagi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nihadnagi/) * (@nihadnagi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-placing-a-code-please/#post-2613693) * Don’t say that, no you are not. * Switching is done very easily, without affecting or ruining anything. Go to Appearance, Activate another theme, go test your plugin, and if it works then we know it’s a theme related issue, and when you are done, activate your theme again, and nothing is gone or changed. That’s why theme files are stored and edited separately, so you can change the look of your website every day, with all of your things the same they are.It’s just a press of a button. * By the way, I really like helping younger 🙂 * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-placing-a-code-please/#post-2613694) * > Is there no other way? * No. Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. Some times you will be asked to switch themes as part of that process. With luck, the change will only be temporary but, in some cases, it proves that the problems are within the theme( in which case, you may have to consider using another theme). * Bottom line: do you want a working site? If the answer is “yes”, then please help us to help you by following the suggestions you have been given.
