    Hi! I tried adding Oceanwp Slider’s shortcode to the index.php so that it appears under the header, and it kind of works. The problem is the slider appears in categories too, which is not intended. How can I add the slider to my homepage (it’s not a page I created, but my latest posts. I don’t use Elementor) without it showing also in my category pages?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @alexcastor,

    Thank you for reaching out,

    How did you add the slider to your page?

    If you used a custom PHP code, then you can use a condition like the following code:

    if ( is_front_page() ) {
   // your code
}

    Here is the related article with some examples: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_front_page/.

    The final code should be like this

    function showup_slider() {
  if ( is_front_page() ) {
    echo do_shortcode('[ocean_posts_slider id="2010"]');
  }
}
add_filter( 'ocean_after_header', 'showup_slider' );

    I hope it helps.
    Best Regards

    “if ( is_front_page() )” worked perfectly, thank you so much!
