   Hi Kriesi,

   First let me say what a fantastic theme this is.

   One query I have at the moment is:

   Is it possible to link the images I use on the frontpage slider to a certain page?
   I know that if i insert an image via wordpress into a post I can add a custom link to that but If I put an image on the slider it automatically links to the post which is holding the image.

   What I want is to... Link say a image advertising baked beans to the baked beans page or something like that. I want to add custom links to the front images.

   Is this possible?

   Many kind regards,
   Tom

   It is possible but requires a little bit of modification:

   you need to be comfortable with using wordpress custom fields. you need to create a new custom field, maybe call it "new_link" and then enter the link into this custom field. then you need to edit the template files.

   in index php search for $link = get_permalink();

   add a new line afterwards: $new_link = get_post_meta($post->ID, "new_link", true);

   then search for get_permalink() arround line 47 and 52 and replace it with $new_link
   then search for $link at line 45 and replace it with $new_link as well

   Hi Kriesi, I have excactly same problem as tommyt90, but can't seem to make it work. Is there any way I can make you post a more "finished" walkthrough?
   Great theme, though, and everybody who's seen it up here love it!

   Regards,
   Jesper
