I am using “your latest posts” as my front page, and have added left and right sidebars. I want a slider on that front page.

Q1) Is there any way to add a slider to a “normal” (non-Presentation) page?

Q2) As far as I can tell, when the Presentation page is enabled, it does not allow me to have sidebars. Is there any way to add sidebars to a Presentation page?

I LOVE the Nirvana theme and really really appreciate how much I am able to customize it without coding. Wonderful theme, thanks.

For anyone else having this question, I’ve solved it by adding the widget “Image Slider” to the Above Content Area. The slider then appears on every page and post, which I did not want. I added the widget “Widget Logic” which when enabled adds a text field to each widget which you can use to configure where the widget appears on your site. You have to be able to write a wp filter, which I cannot do, but the developer supplied the filter to have the widget appear only on the home page: is_home()

That is the way I would have suggested it as well – any widget can be used in the before content widget area and its visibility can then be controlled with a widget visibility plugin.
