Need to use homepage slideshow on another page

   I have a site that needs to use a different static page for the front page. When I select it in the WP Reading Settings, I lose the ability to use the Elegance Homepage features.

   Specifically, I need to use the Homepage slideshow features to show YouTube videos with comments beside them (Partial Staged). And there doesn't appear to be a way to do this using sliders, only with the homepage slideshow.

   So I need to do one of two options:
   1) I need a way to use the Elegance HOMEPAGE at a different URL than the root domain, e.g. not at http://www.mydomain.com. My custom static page is being directed as the landing page for the site.

   OR

   2) I need a way to add the Homepage Slideshow to another page I set up in WP.

   I don't have the PHP skills to code hooks and actions. But if you tell me what to type in (or give me code to cut and paste), I'm happy to customize coding.

   Thanks so much! I'm really stuck.

   Hello klbrunet,

   We have an option where you can display the slider on every page in Dashboard -> your theme -> Slideshow -> Advanced Settings, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Slideshow#Fading_and_Scrolling_Slider.

   We are also working on some fading / scrolling slider shortcodes which will probably make it in the next update. You can subscribe to our newsletter in the bottom of this page to be notified of future updates.

   Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, having the slideshow on every page is not an option. And the slider shortcodes won't help me later because what I really need is the Homepage slideshow with has more variety in how to display text with images.

   I'm going to find another strategy to accomplish what I need. But I appreciate your reply.

   Thanks,

   Karen

   Just want to second that, a homepage-style slider shortcode/widget or the ability to create different sliders for different pages in the theme menu would be an awesome addition in future versions, as it really gives a better opportunity to display text alongside the slider images.

   If your wanting more variety you can switch to the "Full + Raw HTML" stage setting and insert whatever you need into the slide description.

   You can see an example of this on the first slide of our Persuasion demo, http://themes.mysitemyway.com/persuasion/.
