I’m trying to implement a slider underneath the navigation. I have the add-ons and can see the “blog page header” option where I can add the slider in the content area. However I’m not using any blog pages, just a static home page and it won’t show up there. Am I missing something obvious?
Meta boxes are actually located in Edit Page in your Dashboard > Pages.
Select on the page you want to edit and the Page Header meta box should be at the bottom.
