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.

  • But how does that display the featured image as the header image on any page or post? Commented Jan 5, 2014 at 14:42
  • @BradDalton By putting the regular featured image code into the else block?

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

  • But how does that hook the slider into the header from your functions file when there's no header hook in the code? Commented Jan 5, 2014 at 12:52
