Need slider to appear on home page of website and not on WordPress pages only.

WordPress is installed in a folder within the “/webshare” folder on my server which is the root folder for the website where my “index.shtml” file is at. I want the slider to work on the home page of my website and not just on the WordPress pages. Is there any way?

I need the email subscribe popup on the main page of the website, not on the blog page only.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Hi Kenneth,

    Slide In (and all our plugins) do require WordPress to work. It pulls the slide in content from the WordPress database, and it uses WordPress functions to load properly in the page.

    It would be possible with custom development to extract parts of Slide in to use on your site – but you wouldn’t have very much control. In fact, I would actually recommend considering moving everything over to WordPress. WordPress is great for managing entire websites. This route might even be less work, or at least a more straightforward process as it’s been done many times before.

    You could take your existing HTML design, and have it converted into a WordPress theme by a developer. Then anytime you wanted to change a page on your site, you wouldn’t need to code it manually. Also, instead of your URLs being /music.htm You could have them just as /music

    WordPress gives you lots of possibilities like this.
