Add more slides

I’m trying to increase the number of homepage slides. I copied the slide array from options.php and changed the id’s from 2 to 3. It put the option for a 3rd slide in the theme options interface, but the 3rd slide does not show up on the homepage.

Then I tried editing element-slider.php. Where it calls the slides in “($i = 1; $i <= 2; $i++)”, I changed to “($i = 1; $i <= 2; $i <= 3; $i++)”. That made the slideshow disappear completely.

Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong? Is it in the jquery.flexslider.js file? Sorry if I sound a bit loopy — too late at night with too much coffee.

Thanks!
