Slider only on Front page

I'm using Smooth Slider to showcase featured content, but I've only been able to put it above the loop on the main index template. This causes it to show up anywhere. Where can I put it so that it only shows up on the home page?

wrap the html in a PHP if statement

HTML Code:

<?php if (is_front_page) { ?>

your html here

<?php }; ?>

Smooth Slider is actually called with a PHP statement:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_smooth_slider' ) ) {

     get_smooth_slider(); } ?>

I tried this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php if (is_front_page) 

if ( function_exists( 'get_smooth_slider' ) ) {

     get_smooth_slider(); } ?>

But that didn't seem to make any difference. I'm sure this will work but what's the right way to wrap the statement?

try this

HTML Code:

<?php if (is_front_page) {  

        if ( function_exists( 'get_smooth_slider' ) ) { 

     get_smooth_slider(); } }?>

No need to mess with the theme files. In the theme options, style and edit center column/content above the loop, just put

Code:

<?php

if (is_home() AND function_exists( 'get_smooth_slider' ) ) {

     get_smooth_slider(); } ?>

I use it on http://aghca.org.

Thanks so much for this post! I am feeling pretty darn good about being able to figure this out with the help here! I got the Easing Slider Plugin to work and show only on my home page using this code in Above the Loop!

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

Woot :)
