Title: problem replacing header image with slideshow Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # problem replacing header image with slideshow * [mclbooks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mclbooks/) * (@mclbooks) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-replacing-header-image-with-slideshow/) * I got my slideshow to appear in the header, but it appears above the header widget I’m using for my logo, rather than in the correct position above the nav bar. I placed the code “
[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”home”]
” in the Advanced Options/HTML Insertion/Sire Header Insert Code box according to instructions. Not sure what’s wrong.

In this case it’s appearing above everything. I also can’t get the slide show to replace the header image on a per-page basis, although I’ve tried all the suggested methods. Shouldn’t there be a simple way to substitute the correctly sized slide show for the header image? * Thread Starter [mclbooks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mclbooks/) * (@mclbooks) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-replacing-header-image-with-slideshow/#post-4508484) * I’m working with the Weaver II Pro template, by the way. Meteor Slides is a great plugin apart from the apparent complications of substituting the slideshow for the header image. Am I missing something obvious? * Plugin Author [Josh Leuze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jleuze/) * (@jleuze) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-replacing-header-image-with-slideshow/#post-4508502) * Every theme is different, anything outside of the standard page/post content area is going to be custom. * The built in support that Weaver has is to add the slideshow to a certain area via the shortcode. That is fixed to that area and only supports one slideshow via that shortcode. * If you want it to be dynamic, you have to use PHP and hook it into the header in the proper spot, or edit the header file directly and insert it. * If you want a different slideshow on each page, you might try using slideshows with slugs that match the pages slugs and dynamically changing the slideshow based on the page: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-slideshow-template-tag-page-slug-for-slideshow-slug?replies=12](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-slideshow-template-tag-page-slug-for-slideshow-slug?replies=12) * [Gillian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ridgididgi/) * (@ridgididgi) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-replacing-header-image-with-slideshow/#post-4508503) * In the Weaver II settings, go to Main Options > Header and under the Header Widget Area section check that you haven’t ticked this option: “Display After Header Image”. * If unticking that option doesn’t solve the issue, have a search and/or post on the Weaver II Forum. There are a number of helpful threads about Meteor Slides. * Plugin Author [Josh Leuze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jleuze/) * (@jleuze) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-replacing-header-image-with-slideshow/#post-4508504) * [@gillian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gillian/) Cool, I didn’t even know Weaver had that option! * [Gillian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ridgididgi/) * (@ridgididgi) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-replacing-header-image-with-slideshow/#post-4508505) * Weaver’s got more options than you can poke a stick at 🙂 * Plugin Author [Josh Leuze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jleuze/) * (@jleuze) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-replacing-header-image-with-slideshow/#post-4508509) * I would need several sticks… * Thread Starter [mclbooks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mclbooks/) * (@mclbooks) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-replacing-header-image-with-slideshow/#post-4508534) * Thanks guys.
