Smart Slider 3 on web pages
5 replies · Started by Jennifer on March 27, 2019
Hello,
Which non-page builder GP Premium themes allow me to install Smart Slider 3 on my home page or other pages of my site? I'm reading the "details" buttons on the themes and so far haven't found a theme that allows for Smart Slider 3. Also, wondering which theme is the closest layout and content areas to "Branded" since I cannot afford the $200 Beaver Pro plugin required with Branded. Thanks in advance. (I'm sure you can tell I'm a novice, novice so please assume I will not know any buzz words or shortcuts when you answer).
Hi there,
You can actually add Smart Slider 3 on any of the non-page builder sites.
Basically you just need to create the slider, then insert it using our header element module:

Let me know if this helps :)
Thank you, Leo. Can you recommend a theme similar to Branded (it was perfect!) that does not require a $ 200-Beaver page builder pro to use? Which of the non-page builder GP Premium themes can I use to create a website with same layout as Branded? THANK YOU!
Hi there,
there isn't a non pagebuilder site that is identical. Maybe the Catalyst site as it uses the Header Element and a lightweight grid plugin for columns.
Artisan also does something similar, its more a base theme for you to add a builder if you want. If you want to use a pagebuilder then the Elementor Free version should see you through most of those needs.
Thank you David, appreciate it. I do not want to use a page builder, I don't even know why I need one or what they do, I only know there are 1000's of WP themes I can use for free or purchase that do not require page builders so I don't see any reason for the added expense. :)
I'll try catalyst. As long as I can change images, colors, and add menu buttons + pages, it should be OK. You can tell I have no idea what I'm doing so I'll have to find a hand-holder. Appreciate the fast response! Jn
You're welcome :)
