  Hey, I have recently started a website (http://10tg.net/wp/) and am wanting it to be a flash game-website. So far it is all going well, however I do have one issue. I am using the theme “Leetpress” and I have changed the home-page to static so I can write what I want on it. Theme theme came with a “slider” originally on the front page and recent posts. I would like the static homepage to display this slider but make it that I can edit the surrounding content. I have looked in the settings and have found the original code for the pre-set home page here:

  <?php get_header(); ?>
<?php // THEME UPLOADED BY Darth Master // ?>
<?php
$slider_number = get_option('lp_slides_number');
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'slider', 'showposts' => $slider_number );
$slider_loop = new WP_Query( $args );
if ($slider_loop->have_posts()) : ?>
<!-- BEGIN SLIDER -->
<div class="slider">

  <div class="sliderContent">

  <?php while ( $slider_loop->have_posts() ) : $slider_loop->the_post(); $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), false, '' ); ?>
  <div class="featured-item" style="background:<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'feature_bg', true); ?> url(<?php echo $src[0]; ?>) no-repeat center; height:280px;">

  <div class="featured-inner">

  <div class="featured-inner">

  <div class="featured-arrows"></div>
  <h1>ID, 'feature_url', true); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
  <p class="featured-meta">By <?php the_author(); ?>, <?php the_time( get_option('date_format') ); ?></p>

  </div>

  </div>

  </div>
  <?php endwhile;
  wp_reset_query(); ?>

  </div>

  <div class="top-overlay"></div>
  <div class="bottom-overlay"></div>

  </div>
  <!-- END SLIDER -->
  <?php endif; ?>

  <!-- BEGIN MAIN WRAPPER -->
  <div id="main-wrapper">

  <!-- BEGIN MAIN -->
  <div id="main">

  <!-- BEGIN NEWS WRAPPER -->
  <div id="news-wrapper">

  <h3 class="section-title">Latest News</h3>

  <!-- BEGIN NEWS ITEMS -->
  <?php

  if(get_option('lp_include_reviews') == "true") { $include_reviews = "'reviews',"; }
  if(get_option('lp_include_videos') == "true") { $include_videos = "'videos',"; }
  if(get_option('lp_include_screenshots') == "true") { $include_screenshots = "'screenshots',"; }

  query_posts( array(
  'post_type' => array(
  'post',
  $include_reviews,
  $include_screenshots,
  $include_videos
  ),
  'paged' => $paged )
  );
  ?>
  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

  <?php

  if ( get_post_type() == 'reviews' ) : ?>

  <?php include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/show-reviews-frontpage.php' ); ?>

  <?php elseif ( get_post_type() == 'videos' ) : ?>

  <?php include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/show-videos-frontpage.php' ); ?>

  <?php elseif ( get_post_type() == 'screenshots' ) : ?>

  <?php include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/show-screenshots-frontpage.php' ); ?>

  <?php else: ?>

  <?php include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/show-posts.php' ); ?>

  <?php endif; ?>

  <?php endwhile; ?>
  <?php kriesi_pagination(); ?>
  <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

  <?php endif; ?>
  <!-- END NEWS ITEMS -->

  </div>
  <!-- END NEWS WRAPPER -->

  </div>
  <!-- END MAIN -->

  <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

  <?php get_footer(); ?><?php // THEME UPLOADED BY Darth Master // ?>

  I would like to get it so I can have the slide-show like banner to exist but for the main content to be editable (as a static homepage). May someone please assist me as I am new to wordpress and how it works.

  Cheers, Corey
