Hi,
I would like to be able to have the Slider Revolution slide in the same space the featured image takes up in Style 3 or Style 7 of the Newspaper theme. Ive tried it with all styles and either the sidebar pushes the slider down under the title and into the 2/3 column, or it looks like an image in the post. I have purchased the pro version of Slider Revolution.
I would like it to be the heading for the post, also to have the post title, subtitle and featured image and I can manage all this from the Slider Revolution options screen. But I cant get the slider into the right place in the posts! I would also like to be able to do this for categories too but I guess that’s impossible? The visual composer is in the posts though so you should have a combination of slider and theme where the slider can be full width, and fit across the top of the post and underneath have the post look like style 1, 2 or 5 and have a sidebar all underneath the title slider. Ideally the post would look like Style 5 or 7 and the title would be included in the Slider Revolution and I can make the text the H1 inside the slider. I also need the featured image to work for thumbnails on the rest of the website and on social media.
You can check out my website and see what I mean http://www.thoseconspiracyguys.com. I want to use it for the podcast episode we release instead of style 8.
Thanks,
Gordon
Hi,
Unfortunately the revolution slider on posts depends on the post template. If you want to adapt one style to look like the other and have revolution slider go along with it, you will require customization services we cannot provide. You can hire a freelancer from sites like studio.evato.com
Thank you for your understanding.
I mean, can you have the revolution slider come in above the heading as in Style 2 or 5 and have it look like style 7 but with the functionality and look of Rev Slider? I cant get it above the headline of the article/post. I can do it on a default template page but the sidebar on the post page gets in the way. From Visual composer (I bought the pro version of that) you can drop a Rev Slider bar in the Backend Editor but it doesnt have any effect on the heading of the post page (or category page for that matter but this would be more difficult to edit I guess) and it slides in above the text, below the title of the post and beside the sidebar. Is there any way to change this?
Hello,
Unfortunately for posts, you can only add the revolution slider inside the post content. What you require is adding it above the post content. Unfortunately that cannot be done from the theme settings. You will have to edit the theme files and add your content above the main content area. You can edit the theme files and place your slider with a do_shortcode function like so: http://screencast.com/t/MwXbxox9
Every post style has it;s own file.
You can use this function: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/ and add the rev slider shortcode inside it.
<?php echo do_shortcode('YOUR SHORTCODE HERE');?>
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
That sound closer to what I want. Would I be able to have multiple sliders with those shortcodes or would it be just one slider for all instances of that Style. For example, I would like to use Style 5 for these posts, and each post would have a different Slider at the top of the page. If I use the do_shortcode Im using only one slider for all of the posts that I have Style 5 activated on. Is there a way to have individual sliders for each post? Like maybe associate the name of the post with the do_shortcode so it would change to the correct slide for each post?
Hi,
Unfortunately that gets even more complicated as there is no easy way to add specific sliders to specific posts. If you add a do_shortcode, you add one slider for all posts that use style 5. If this is what you need, then i have to suggest hiring a freelancer as multiple conditions and checks have to be added to the code for this to work properly and there is no easy solution I can provide here.
Thank you!
Alright Bogdan, thanks for all your help so far anyway. Im going to go try get a developer to help me out with this one! Ill be going with Style 6 until then. Thanks very much and I hope you guys will think about implementing a Style into the theme to work with the bundled Rev Slider in the future maybe? One where you can have custom slides on custom posts?
Thanks again,
Gordon
Hi Gordon,
We do try to improve our themes as much as we can so maybe in a future version we will be able to provide such a feature.
Best of luck on your project!
