    Hello there
    I'm using Minimum Pro for my website and I'm very new to WordPress. My site is this
    Freelancelot.biz
    and it's working properly. However, I would like to replace the background image on my static front page with a slider and various images. What is the easiest way to do this with a free plugin and minimum coding? I can see the topic is not new but the anwers are quite old and maybe I am missing out on something important.
    Best regards, Flemming

    It's not easy. Minimum Pro uses backstreatch in front-page.php to display the image, here an example of what you could do.

    Register the widget in functions.php
    Comment out the backstreatch code in front-page.php
    Add a widget after the header for the slider

    You may need to prioritize the positioning of the widget so it appears after the site-tag and will probably need some styling for the slider.

    Before you decide on using a slider you might want to read "Our themes don’t have sliders" at Yoast.com

    OK, thank you. The link you provided has convinced me that a slider is a bad idea. Thank you for that!
    Best regards, Flemming, Denmark
