Hi truelux,

I didn't realize you were referring to an external slider. That code Richie's graciously provided should sort that for you though! :)

hi
you need some tweak here...open/lib/templates/wp-template/panel-home.php...and try this add the slider html or code at

<?php include ( TEMPLATEPATH . '/options-var.php' ); ?>
<div id="panel">
<!--- the slider code here-->
<div id="left-panel">

and add this css to hide the #left-panel and #right-panel if you are going to use your own slider.
just add in base.css or custom.css

#left-panel, #right-panel { display: none; }

Would I include the slider code into the "<div id="panel">" within panel-home.php ?

Won't provide a link but I would be using a custom slider:

Hi truelux,

Could we get a link to your site? It'll help to see what we're working with here.

The header.php does have an is_front_page() check regarding the slider so the slider shouldn't be showing on other pages as far as I initially looked.

Could you also let us know what slider option you're using, the posts or categories slider, etc?

Thanks,
David

I am looking at the header.php file for the Blogs MU theme and see:

however, I don't know how everything works with BP. I only want the featured slider to appear on the homepage, not on every page (the way it currently is).

Any idea on how I can do this?
