 * Hi,
 * I use metaslider, easy to use but you need some basics to integrate it to your
   theme. Namely : I created a child theme and added the integration code to the
   index.php.
 * The slider is not created automatically, it is up to you to create slides, insert
   the url to get your visitors to the featured articles.

 * Hi annaramos,
 * Go to your admin panel, chose Appearance / Theme Options, chose single post settings
   and set **author box** to “off”.
 * Hope this helps.

 * Hi cren1985,
 * I had the same issue. I am not en expert either. I will share you the method 
   that I have found. I have modified the **index.php** situated in the theme folder
   of wordpress. Well, **don’t do that**, you will lose changes when the point theme
   is updated. So the first thing to do is to **create a child theme**. Please do
   a google search, great tutorials exist! In a nutshell you will operate changes
   to your child theme and for all the rest, wordpress will use the parent theme
   declarations.
 * Once you have your child theme folder with the style.css file (that’s basically
   all you need), go to the point theme folder, copy the index.php and paste it 
   to your child theme folder. That’s where you can add after the `<div class="article"
   >` (line 5) these lines :
 *     ```
       <?php
           echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=113]");
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Don’t forget to change the shortcode, and get the right number id for your metaslider.
 * You can see this on this site (it’s a French site but you can see the integration
   of the meta slider) :

 * I hope this can help.
