  Hello,
  I was wondering if someone knew how to make a slideshow header for their wordpress blog. Is there a theme that already has a template set for it?

  Thanks,
  alex

  Modularity Lite features a slideshow on the front page.
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/modularity-lite/
  live demo site > http://modularitylitedemo.wordpress.com/

  Aside from that do be aware that we cannot edit themes or templates and CSS editing cannot be used to change theme functionally by adding slideshows to headers.

  Another possibility is to use an animated GIF of the exact dimensions as your theme’s header image.

  Have you considered a theme with a slider? I know that’s not exactly what you are trying to do, but it is just another thought.

  1. Is having a slide show header possible with all themes? I am using woohoo theme!
  2. Is it possible to enlarge the header? I’ve notice that my header only fits pic of 960×100 pixels.
  3. could i format a header picture for a slide show? if so how can i do that?

  1. No. Some themes have sliders and some do not. We cannot edit templates or themes and add sliders.
  2. Yes if you purchase a custom design upgrade and do the required CSS editing.
  3. See my answers above.
  Yours is a premium theme. See also > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/deleting-comment-box?replies=3#post-772601
