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.
