 * Hi, great theme! But I can’t get the slider to work.
 * Any chance you can show what it looks like in your demo?
 * Thanks,
 * Gigi

 * Ok so I see the Slider seems to work only on my designated page for blog posts(“
   News”).
 * How do I get the slider to work on my front static page? Or is that possible 
   at all?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * 1. Create a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
    2. Copy 
   the page.php file from the main theme folder into the child theme folder. 3. 
   Open up the copied file in your favourite editor and find this line `<?php while(
   have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>` 4. Right above that line paste this code:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_front_page() && get_theme_mod('slider_display') ) : ?>
       	<?php echo solon_slider_template(); ?>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * 5. Activate your child theme and your slider from the theme options and you`re
   done.
 * If you can’t figure it out, let me know and I’ll help.
