Thank you for your response.

I have all of the slides for the slideshow in the “uncategorized” category, with featured image and excerpt to display on each slide.

Do I need to create a new post for each “read more” button to be linked to, and also have them in the “uncategorized” category? How do I link the “read more” button to the correct post?

Thank you for your reply.

When I add the code you supplied just under the code already there, I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/87/11933087/html/wp-content/themes/business-hub-child/functions.php on line 17

My entire function.php code looks like this:

Thank you in advance.

Thank you. That worked, but then I deleted the “front page” page thinking it was unnecessary and now the home page is separate pictures with properties, rather than a slide show.

So I added another “front page” page, and it still isn’t working.Ugh!

Please help!
