mmm,
Send me a link to your website to check ? 

Yea, On theme editing page you have user group permissions

So edit your themes and set the user group permission ? 

Wish I knew this earlier would have saved a headache! lol thanks for letting me know, will buy the swiper slider shortly. 
Quick question, is there an option to hide the theme switcher for users, I just want the Dreadnought theme to be default for everyone and not allow switching, sorry I'm new to IPS - I can probably just remove the code from the template but just wondering if there is a setting for it somewhere.

Cant be done in the theme. thats why i have swiper slider application in marketplace. You can with the application exclude the slider from showing on specific pages, You could create a page for you homepage and then exclude the slider from showing on all other pages but the homepage. ? 
 

Thanks for your reply.
Would this be possible in a future update or something?
For now I've found a temporary solution by checking the URL if it contains a news article then hide the .ta_themeSlider div all together. This works but there is still the initial flash of the slider rendering then disappearing, maybe someone with more JavaScript knowledge can find a way to hide it before it renders?
For anyone else who's having the same issue, I've used the code below:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { if (window.location.href.indexOf("news") != -1) { $(".ta_themeSlider").hide(); } }); </script>
