[Resolved] Problems adding Revolution Slider Banner to Home/Front Page

[Edward]

My website is https://eliteluxuryholidays.com

I am running the latest version of everything.

I have created a Revolution Slider slide which looks similar to the one on this website http://masonhorvath.com on the home/front page to add to my website on the home/front page.

I have tried to do this by doing the following and nothing seems to work: –

1. Added the Revolution Slider short-code to a page header element and specified it for the front page and excluded the other pages and posts etc.

2. Added it directly to the home/front page – when I do this I get a block error and when I inspect it, it doesn’t show anything significant.

3. Same as 2. but added the short-code as a short-code block.

4. Same as 2. but added the short-code as a HTML block.

I have disabled my caching plugins and would really appreciate your help with this.

Thanks

Ed

Hi Ed,

Could you try just add[rev_slider alias="template-1"]in a shorcode block instead of adding [rev_slider alias="template-1"][/rev_slider]?

Let me know 🙂

Hi Ying,

Thanks but it didn’t work. I published it so you can see what I see on the home page.

Hi there,

If the shortcode didn’t work when you added it as a content within the frontpage then there must be an issue w/ it.

It’s either the shortcode had something wrong with it or the plugin itself has issues.

Have you tried testing it on a blank page with the shortcode as the only content?

Note: Revslider is a third party-plugin. It’s outside of our scope of support as it isn’t something the theme controls. I recommend asking it’s plugin support/developer about this issue.

Hi Elvin,

Thanks for your response and sorry for the slow reply.

I have tried adding the code to a new page and it didn’t work.

Can you tell me how to add a new page header element to achieve this instead please?

Thanks

Ed

If the shortcode doesn’t work on a new page, then there’s some issue with the shortcode itself, we can’t do anything about it.

I would recommend reaching out to the plugin or whoever generates the shortcode for you.

Hi Ying, I understand but what im asking now is how else can we do this.

I can see that the theme comes with a page header element which can be modified to create a banner.

How can I do that to create a banner like the one on this website http://masonhorvath.com but on my website?

Do you mean this section?

You can use a block element which is the Gutenburg version of hook element/header element if you are not familiar with code.

Choose hook as block type, choose generate_after_header as hook, choose location depends on your needs.

Hope that helps 🙂

Thanks Ying but I have worked out how to do it now so we can close this.

[Ying]

Glad to hear that 🙂
