Hi doh_flippa,

Apologies for the late reply.

You may have solved this yourself by now, but in case you were still waiting for a reply, here it is

The way to add the slideshow to a static front page would be exactly the same as for any other WordPress page or post, and you can use any of the following methods:

1. To embed the slideshow into the content:

• If you have post containing images or where images have been uploaded using the media uploader (not necessarily displaying on the page) and want to display them as a slideshow on another page: [slideshow post_id=X]
• You can add slides under Slideshow > Manage slides and display a slideshow using [slideshow]
• You can display a slideshow from a specific gallery under Slideshow > Manage Galleries by gallery ID using [slideshow gallery_id="X"].

2. To embed the slideshow into the page template (page.php or any other template used for the specific page):

• <?php if (function_exists('slideshow')) { slideshow($output = true, $gallery_id = false, $post_id = false, $params = array()); } ?>

I hope this helps?

Regards,

Phil
