== Frequently Asked Questions ==
http://www.metaslider.com/documentation/
= How do I include a slideshow in the header of my site? =
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSsWgd66Jjk
You will need to paste the "Template Include" code into your theme (you can find
this in the 'Usage' section underneath the slideshow settings)
*
*
*
*

Go to Appearance > Editor in WordPress

Edit a file called 'header.php' (or similar)
Find the correct place to add it (for example above or below the logo)
Paste in the code and save.

If you want to include the slideshow on your homepage only, use this code:
`<?php
if (is_front_page() || is_home()) {
echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=123]"); //replace 123 with slider ID
}
?>`
