Is there any way to include pages in the home page slider? Not just blogs and or blog specific categories?
If not what about adding a custom link to a different page for a slider image? Any clues?

Hey,
You can change the homepage slider to use pages by modifying the WP_Query in index.php. Open it up and find this code:
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$k_option['mainpage']['feature_cats_final']."&posts_per_page=".$k_option['mainpage']['feature_count']);Change it to:
$args = array( 'post_type'=>'page', 'post__in' => array('595', '33', '44') ); $additional_loop = new WP_Query($args);This would load pages with the ID's of 595, 33 and 44. This would require manual intervention (i.e. editing the file) every time you wanted to change the pages / the page order. The original theme options would continue to exist but have no effect on the slider.

Hi , tired the below code which should display 6 pages at the front but it displays only 3 (all of the 6 are post IDs of the pages I am trying to display at the mainpage)
$args = array(
'post_type'=>'page',
'post__in' => array('583', '585', '66', '63', '965'));
$additional_loop = new WP_Query($args);Any ideas ???
