  I can point you to the detailed theme description page at https://wordpress.com/themes/academica/ where the set up instructions for the theme that clearly state how it is designed to function are found. See the live demo site at https://academicademo.wordpress.com/

  Hello,

  Can you change custom picture to display slide show to show on home page only instead of static picture on every page

  You can, yes! With Academica, every post assigned a certain tag and given a featured image will be displayed in the Featured Content Slider on the home page of your site.

  In Customizer Featured Content, enter the name of a tag you would like to use for featured posts. Once you’ve saved your changes, posts marked with this tag will appear in the featured content slider if they have a featured image.

  The Academica theme documentation page has more information:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/academica/

  Come back to me if you have any questions.

  Thank you, I should also have asked if you can also increase the size of the picture as well?
  Many thanks

  You’re welcome!

  The slider size is 960px by 300px. It has a fixed height and width so it’s not possible to increase the size of the image.

  One option is to explore the possibility of changing the size using Custom Design — a feature of Premium and Business plans. It would give you access to a CSS editor:

  The best place for CSS advice is our CSS Customization forum here:

  I hope this information helps!
