Hi Ed,
Thank you so much. I did try all the solutions and nothing :(
The problem my lay in the way I wanted to add the custom home page. So what I did:
- installed the template I liked, which has its own slider
www.themeskingdom.com/demo/gallerise/ - amended CSS to make it look like my old HTML page
- because my HTML site has the slider I wanted to keep, I decided to create Custom Page Template (similar way to the one from the article you mention) by mixing the index.html form my static site and index.php from the theme I use. And because of the slider I have kept all the code for header, instead of calling <?php get_header(); ?>
- then I created custom home page and chose the custom template from page attributes - everything working except the images.
I`m not familiar with WP themes, but at first I thought I could easily replace the jquery code of the existing slider to the one from my HTML site. But all I ended up was PHP errors.
Now when I was trying your suggested solutions, I realized that when I will set home page in settings to custom home, the theme will automatically replace the slider to its default. :(
It seems so complicated, perhaps the only solution will be to learn how to build those fancy WP themes from scratch and then add my cool slider :) May be a bit long process though and I need my site asap.
Anna
