[Resolved] Image Slider below header, before posts?

[Pete Baker]

Hi,

Can anyone advise the best way to add a image slider below the header but before the post excerpts on my landing page?

Hi Pete,

Looks like you already did it?

Let me know if you still need help 🙂

Hi Leo,
Yes, I used ‘Huge It Slider’ plugin and added it using GPhooks. The only problem I have now is the mobile view, for some reason it spaces the slider leaving a big gap between the header. Any ideas?

Hi Pete,

GP hooks is definitely the way to go 🙂

I’m not sure if that slider is responsive…beside the gap you can also see that the arrows are off too.

Can you try using Smart Slider 3? I know this one should be good on mobile too. It also got super good review rating.

Wow! Thanks Leo. Smart Slider 3 is a mile better than my previous slider. Great tip, thanks again

[Pete Baker]

One further question. Is there a way for me to add this slider so it only appears the post excerpt pg? I don’t want it to show on category and individual post pages if poss.

[Leo]

Yeah Smart Slider 3 is pretty good. Glad you like it!

Try this in GP hooks:

<?php if ( is_front_page() && is_home() ) { ?>
    Smart Slider Shortcode here
<?php } ?>

Make sure execute PHP is checked.

Let me know.

You’re a star Leo, that works a treat!

Glad I could help 🙂
