[Support request] Page Slider positioning?

[Jefferis]

Hi Tom, I was hoping you would have a location for installing a page slider. I’m using the GP base to develop a design and rather than using the page/post top, I’d like to put a slider beneath the nav menu full width. I’m not sure how to insert one without it being overwritten when GP updates. I don’t see a feature in Premium addons for doing this. I can manually make a banner image full width by making its width 100% using CSS in the browser inspector, but the Page Header only allows the insert of an image. And the dimensions of the image are hard coded.

How would I go about inserting a hero/banner slider in the top of the home page, e.g.?

Hi there,

You would use the Page Header add-on for this – simply place your slide shortcode into the Content area of the meta box.

Alternatively, you could use GP Hooks, but this would make the slider show up site-wide unless you use PHP conditionals.

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

Tom, what about when you have a sidebar? I put it in the page header but it only covered the content column. That is where I was able to manipulate the image size in browser inspector and make with 100%, but it didn’t work in page header. Are you saying put it in the content box instead?

[Tom]

By default the page header is above the content and sidebar as long as it’s set to “Above Content Area” in “Customize > Layout > Page Header”.

If that’s not working, can you possible link me to the page so I can check out the code?

Thanks!
