The shortcode goes in the post or page editor, there is also a template tag and widget you can use. Which one you use and where you put it depends on where you want the slideshow on your site.
You can change the slideshow height and width in the slideshow settings. Make sure you change the size before you upload the slide images.
Jleuze,will the. short code in the page affect the single page or the multiple pages?
n does where I put the short code really matter.
as u notice I am just interested in the slide show as the header image.
do have to do anything in header.php?
I need some help JLeuze. please reply. I am not an experienced coder. Some step by step direction would be of greatest help. I have tried to do all the necessary but nothing. Placed the shortcode in the page and all that happened was the page appearing with the shortcode as part of the content. I have tried inserting the shortcode in the in the header.php but the site ends up crashing or displaying the slideshow as a small thing just above the header image. Please help. Below is the header.php code(working without the shortcode).
