Hi @risajmiller,

Thank you for your reply.

You can just use the attached child theme from the shared topic or if you are already using the child theme then just add the following code in the functions.php file of your child theme.

/**
 * Featured image slider, displayed on front page for static page and blog
 */
function sparkling_featured_slider() {
  if ( is_front_page() && of_get_option( 'sparkling_slider_checkbox' ) == 1 ) {
    echo '<div class="flexslider">';
      echo '<ul class="slides">';

        $count = of_get_option( 'sparkling_slide_number' );
        // $slidecat =of_get_option( 'sparkling_slide_categories' );

        $query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' =>$count, 'post_type' => 'page', 'meta_key' => 'slider_page' ) );
        if ($query->have_posts()) :
          while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();

          echo '<li><a href="'. get_permalink() .'">';
            if ( (function_exists( 'has_post_thumbnail' )) && ( has_post_thumbnail() ) ) :
              echo get_the_post_thumbnail();
            endif;

              echo '<div class="flex-caption">';
                  if ( get_the_title() != '' ) echo '<h2 class="entry-title">'. get_the_title().'</h2>';
                  if ( get_the_excerpt() != '' ) echo '<div class="excerpt">' . get_the_excerpt() .'</div>';
              echo '</div>';
              echo '</a></li>';
              endwhile;
            endif;

      echo '</ul>';
    echo ' </div>';
  }
}

After using the code, just create a custom field slider_page for the page as described on the shared thread.
