Meteor Slides as header only for homepage and Use featured image of each page as header for respective pages

Question

I am using meteor-slides plugin to make header as a slideshow. I am using twenty-eleven theme. Now i need to make this slideshow for my homepage only and featured images of other pages as headers for the respective pages. Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

In your header.php check if you are an the front page:

if ( is_front_page() or is_home() )
{
    # your slider code here
}
else
{
    # your regular code
}

The front page is the top page, eg. http://example.com/. The home page is the page for your blog posts. That can be the same as your front page or a custom page like http://example.com/news/. See Settings/Reading in WP admin.

Answer 2

I have got answer for it. I have changed the code to add meteor slides plugin in functions.php to show the slideshow just in the homepage.

<?php if ( is_front_page() ) {
    if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { 
             meteor_slideshow(); 
        }
} ?>

After that i used a plug called WP display header to set header image for each page
