# Display A Slideshow Only on Specific Posts or Pages

It is possible to specify that your MetaSlider slideshow only appears on specific posts, pages, or your homepage.

---

## The restrict_to in shortcode

You control the display of the shortcode using the "restrict_to" value. The "restrict_to" settings can be any of the following:

- home
- post ID
- post slug

These shortcodes will work inside posts, pages and other areas of your WordPress site. However, they are probably most useful for placing inside your theme's template files.

## Examples of restrict_to in shortcodes

This shortcode below will take a MetaSlider slideshow with the ID of "30" and display it only on the site's homepage.

```
[metaslider id="30" restrict_to="home"]
```

This next shortcode will take the same slideshow and display it only on a Post or Page with the ID of "50".

```
[metaslider id="30" restrict_to="50"]
```

This next shortcode will take the same slideshow and display it only on a Post or Page with the slug of "welcome-to-wordpress".

```
[metaslider id="30" restrict_to="welcome-to-wordpress"]
```
