Hello everyone,
I need to take a photo out of a slider on WordPress. Is this a widget or plug in?
Any suggestions on where to find it?
This is the website
I’m using WordPress 3.9.13
By the way, I have really moved forward in my progress with my previous questions and I want to thank you all for your help. 
Thanks
The slider is probably a plugin. Go to your dashboard, and look for the item "plugins’. There should be a list of plugins that are installed on the website.

Thanks WebMachine. I looked but have not found it yet. I will continue looking.
Hi WebMachine,
I looked around the Plugin section and could not find anything resembling a plugin. This is not to say it’s not there.
Perhaps this particular slider is something I alter through code?
Thanks
Is there a menu item on the dashboard for “Slideshow”? Also, did you check in the widgets section (Appearance > Widgets).

So far I have not found anything resembling any SlideShow in the Dashboard or Widget section. But Firebug does show me that a slideshow is being used.
In addition, I did find something new. The Welcome page was not selected in order to edit it from the backend. It was a shortcut. I selected Welcome and it made it easier to edit. Just as soon as I selected it I could not find where I selected it. Unreal.
It looks like the theme is loading jQuery.Cycle, and if you can’t find a slideshow menu in the dashboard/widget area then I bet you’ll find it in the page’s edit screen.
I’m not sure what this means at all:
But I would try clicking the “edit” button in the adminbar from the home page:
That should bring you to the page’s edit screen. If it doesn’t, go to Dashboard > Pages and use the search tool to find the page you’re looking for. When you’re there, click the the Screen Options tab and check off all the boxes, sometimes the metaboxes (containers which holds the fields) gets hidden.

Thank you. I was not clear in one of my paragraphs.
Now I see that the Screen Options was the function that allowed me to bring up the Welcome Page.
That’s what I meant by this:
I will continue to look around and get back to you.
Thank you again.
Might this slider be non editable because it came with the template theme?
Presumably this theme is designed for use in any website with any subject matter, so I don’t see how the theme developer would make a slideshow that did not allow you to edit the slides. But without seeing the theme, anyone here trying to help you would just be guessing at how it is set up.

Understood. Thanks. It’s the same website as before. For each accomplishment I make I run into a new challenge. lol
The theme is whiteinc. I contacted the themeseller but never got a response.
Okay, I think I see things a little clearer now when it comes to WordPress Plugins. I was used to editing PlugIns from the backend of Joomla. With Joomla it had an interface built into the backend where I would upload the image into that interface. However, after adding an Huge IT Responsive Slider into my personal WordPress site I see that when I click Edit it brings me to an edit section for php. So this is how I edit the plugins for WordPress. Am I correct?
After looking around I give up. This is really ridiculous! There is absolutely NOTHING in this back-end that resembles a slider!!! Yet when I removed one of the images from the FTP the photo was missing from within the slider. I added it back and it’s showing again. This has to be the fault of the person who abandoned this WordPress project. I took over. I’m a reasonably intelligent person. But this is just ridiculous! 
Does the theme have a functions file?

I have not seen anything about Functions in the back end.
I don’t mean the ACP.
Personally I avoid using it for anything more than extremely trivial edits (eg. a typo).
I mean when you look the files you have on your machine, does the theme have a “functions.php” file somewhere?

I found this within the fuctions.php
<tr valign="top"> <th scope="row"><label for="flickr_group_id">Flickr Group ID</label></th> <td> <input name="flickr_group_id" type="text" id="flickr_group_id" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(get_option('taccess_flickr_group_id'))); ?>" class="regular-text" /> </td>
Is this slider from Flickr? lol
Sorry, ACP - Admin Control Panel
Going by the image of the folder contents, I’d guess “slide_block.php” is the file you want.
If it looks like the code might create output something like this, it is.

So you’re saying the only way to edit this with the php?
Or, perhaps the only way to resolve this is to update the Wordpress? Maybe the slider would show up then?
Thanks
