    Hello,
    I'm awful at following installation/anything web related unless it's hyper specific
    I'm trying to install this plugin:

    http://workshop.rs/2010/05/coin-slider-4-wordpress/

    I'm struggling with steps 3 and 4:

    3. Put < ?php include (ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/plugins/coin-slider-4-wp/coinslider.php’ ); ?> in your template
    Where am I meant to put this? What exactly is the 'template'?

    4. For each post that you want to be featured you must have custom field (csImage by default) with full url to image and optionaly field (csText by default) with text for title bar.
    I'm not up to this part yet but do not understand this either.

    Any help will be much appreciated and repped
    Thanks,
    Mike

    i suggest some other plugin which provides "shortcode" to use it where you want.
    editing files are bit difficult,

    I've been searching for image sliders for a while now, and none of them are really what I'm after apart from this one. This plugin seems easy enough, I'm going to have to eventually learn how to deal with things like this in the future anyway so I'd rather learn now

    The first:
    You should include this code at the page template where you want to show your slider. I suggest to insert into "header.php".

    Second:
    I guess the custom field meta box already ready for you by the plugin. Only if you input the image url and image title, then the slider fetch theme automatic to display.
