Is it possible with Churchope (or other) to have a smaller slideshow and permanent sidebar on a page?
The sidebard could be a category of posts, like "Workshops", in which each link would go to a post. Or it could be calendar with link to the workshops in the numbers. The sidebar should be visible throughout the entire website.
The (smaller) slider would only need to appear on the homepage along with the sidebar. The slider would go to any internal link I would like.
I have an example of an url but I don't want to post it here unless I can send it by email.
1) Slideshow by default can be displayed in header section and you also may create global slideshow that will appear on every page/post or have the only for a single page/post. 2) You can check info about sidebars here: http://churchope.themoholics.com/online-documentation/sidebars-widgets/.
