Creating slideshow on Newsmag-theme

I would like to have an extra option to insert a slideshow (Metaslider) between the header and the page module in the theme we use [Newsmag]. Is that possible?

Hi,

Maybe it is. Should the slider appear on the whole website? Is the slider provided by a plugin? And if so, can it be displayed via a shortcode?

Depending on how you want it to be, you could simply add it inside the header ad spot, especially if it can be displayed using a shortcode. The header style you are using displays the header ad just below the header, for example https://prnt.sc/9SDN_QYLUnqS so if you add the slider in the header ad spot https://prnt.sc/Dr2JxCPx41GT then it will appear below the header.

But if the slider should not appear across the whole website, or if it cannot be displayed via a shortcode, then it will probably require modifying the header template file and adding it there, with the necessary conditions.

Let me know.

Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks for your solution.
I think this is just what I was looking for.

I have to change the formats of the images used in the metaslider plugin, as they are as big as imported in the plugin. Although I change the format AdSence size (that seems not to work for this shortcode).

If you mean these settings https://prnt.sc/QOfbUcdrbkS0 those are for AdSense ads only. While the header ad spot can be used for something else than an ad, it won’t be possible to customize it using settings for AdSense ads.

But it could be customized with some CSS. I see you added the slider, looks like this https://prnt.sc/JvSmIv46rQeU What modifications would you like to make to how it looks exactly?

Let me know.

Thank you!
