 * Hi I’ve been designing a website with the raindrops theme for a client and he
   wants the header image to be replaced by a slideshow of images (timed slider,
   not a manual slider).
 * However, I’ve been having trouble editing the code to put in the slideshow. Please
   help!
 * My website is [http://www.mgsaanz.com](http://www.mgsaanz.com)
 * The plugin is Content Slide Plugin and they want me to put the following code
   into the header.php file:
    `<?php if(function_exists('wp_content­_slid­er')) {
   wp_content_slider(); } ?>`
 * Where do I put this?

 * Hi PierottiMedia
 * If you want to customize the theme, in order to customize is not lost in the 
   update of the theme, you need to create a child theme
 * The creation method of a Child Theme
 * Child theme name:mysite
 * Creation of – theme holder
    wp-content/themes/mysite Creation of – stylesheet
 * style.css is created in the
    wp-content/themes/mysite/style.css The contents 
   are as follows. Creation of a style sheet style.css
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: mysite
       Author: Your name
       Author URI: http://yoursite.com
       Version: 0.1
       Template:raindrops
       */
       ```
   
 * Usually, when making a child theme, it is explained that the style of a parent
   theme is imported as follows, but in rained Rops, it is unnecessary.
    the child
   theme is detected and it imports automatically.
 *     ```
       /* Raindrops No need import rules like below*/
       @import url('../twentyten/style.css');
       ```
   
 * make file functions.php
    ver1.200 ~
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       add_action( 'switch_theme', 'puddle_uninstall' );
   
       function puddle_uninstall(){
   
           delete_option("raindrops_theme_settings");
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * This description is intended to use in a child theme, and change settings of 
   Raindrops, if you uninstall, delete the configuration changes of the parent theme.
   
   If you did not delete, you may be when you install the new Raindrops, correct,
   it is not displayed by default.
 * Next Change from header image to slideshow
 * copy from Raindrops header.php to child theme header.php.
 *     ```
       if ( true == $raindrops_link_unique_text ) {
   
                   echo raindrops_header_image( 'elements' );
               } else {
   
                   echo raindrops_header_image( 'home_url' );
               }
       ```
   
 * change below
 *     ```
       if(function_exists('wp_content­_slid­er')) { wp_content_slider(); }
       ```
   
 * Thank you.
