Hi. Doing my best to follow this exchange as I’m trying to do precisely the same thing and don’t want to mess up by breaking things in the php. Any chance you could simplify/spell out the process for replacing the Storefront homepage banner with a slider. I can see most of the pertinent info is in this thread but can’t quite follow the sequence. Many thanks.
I have exactly the same problem tonight (and a big scare, being a newbie to WordPress). After I added a post to my blog using the WordPress iOS app on my iPhone, everything seemed to vanish. I couldn’t get in from any computer or device in the house. Until I tried with 3g only rather than wifi. By luck I guessed that if I logged into the dashboard and used Revisions to ‘wind back’ an hour or so to before the last blog posting, it might get me back online. And it did.
No more ios app for me, despite how handy it seemed. Surely there’s a better way of coding an app like this that wouldn’t block the editor’s IP address.
