      Hi Everyone,

      I decided to delete my slider from my homepage and replace it with a static image. However, after I deleted the slider, I'm left with a dark square where the slider used to be. I want to put my new static image in that same spot, but have no idea how. Does anyone know where or what code I should add to do that?

      The page is www.kempruge.com

      The WP Forums never seem to be too helpful for me, but Moz always is!

      Thanks in advance,

      Ruben

        Unfortunately this really depends on who designed the template. I would try to track that down

        • Go to your Wordpress dashboard
        • Click on "Appearance"
        • Look at "Current Theme". The name of the theme should be here, and often the author, and the author's website. From there it is much easier to get support for your particular theme.

        Many Sliders are also plugins:

        • Go to your dashboard
        • Click on "Plugins"
        • Look for a plugin that says "Slider" or something to that nature. A couple of popular sliders include "Revolution Slider" and 'Cute Slider WP".
        • Again look for author details. They may be able to help.

        The question of how to fix it really depends a lot on who made the theme or plugin. Often on old themes/plugins its hard to get immediate help but you may find a forum that has the answer to your question. If its a new theme/plugin the author or company that made it is likely is somewhere waiting to provide answers.

          Hi Ruben,

          I'm going to ask the same question Tim did, as it has been a few weeks since he asked and it appears that you have replaced the slider with a static image (or deactivated the slider controls so that the slider appears static. Would love an update, thanks!

            Hey Tim,

            No, I just replaced it with the old slider that I really want to get rid of. I just can't afford to have a dark square sitting there while I try to figure out what to do. When I deactivate the slider, the dark square is where the slider images would be.

            I thought I could just put a static image there, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated!

            Ruben

              Hey Ruben,

              I don't see the dark square you are referring to. Did you already get this resolved?
