I would like to keep the slider on my home page but I only want to have 1 slider image; I want the slider image to remain the same unless I decide to change it. I don’t want this image linking to other posts on my blog. (This part is my biggest issue)
Thanks for the info Movin! I actually just came to that solution on my own. I’m learning! I do have another question however, but I’m not sure if it is possible. It occured to me that I could maybe use a custom field in a blog that the slider is pulling to reference the link I want it to use. That way I could have several sliders in rotation that point to various things.
I tried creating a custom field called slider_link and applying some code based on WP’s documentation, but I couldn’t get anything to work. I would either bring the site down completely, or the slider would simply just link back to the homepage.
I have reverted to the hard-coded link for now, but would love to have this flexibility in the future. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
