CSS and JavaScript code go into your site as normal. You then just create a template for the specific HTML your slider needs. If you can give us some more detail we can probably help.

Here are two test pages (the three images you see should transition after 5 seconds, one over the other)

Thank you. Let me know if you need anything else to diagnose.

What is the Perch issue here?

You have JavaScript above your DOCTYPE which is incorrect but Perch didn't put that there. I would suggest you get your slider working on a static page and then implement Perch to create the slides. If you need help with the slider itself then the support forum for that script would be a better place to post.

Okay, I have it working here: https://sterlingfoundations.com/wowslider/

Will it live there and just get referenced in Perch?

I don't understand what you mean. You need to put it on the page you want it to display.

Sorry this is a new language. You said: I would suggest you get your slider working on a static page and then implement Perch to create the slides.

I suggested that so you could first make sure the html was correct before adding Perch to the mix.

I would suggest you take a look at our video tutorials, the Perch 1 videos are archived here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/video/perch1/
