Smart Slider not working
10 replies · Started by Wendy on July 29, 2017
I installed Smart Slider and put a slide show on my home page. I did this by adding the Smart Slider shortcode into the content area of my home page. The slide show works fine when viewed from Smart Slider's dashboard preview, but it does not work when I view it on the site. The first page of the slide shows on my site, and it even has the navigation arrows on each end to scroll forward or back, but when I click either of them, they don't scroll to the next page. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a code I need to put in the Additional CSS section? BTW, I'm not a coding expert.
Hi there,
There shouldn't be any extra code required for Smart Sliders to work with GP.
Are you able to provide a link to your site?

Are you wanting that slider on every page?
No, only the home page
I just tested the site in tablet and cell phone display modes, and the sliders work fine there, just not in desktop mode. hmm
It's currently blocked by the header padding: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-padding/
If you change it to 0 then it should work. But I'm assuming you want the navigation to be below it?
my client wants the navigation below it. what do you recommend for the padding?
BTW, I have played around with the padding continuously and what works for the home page with the slider, does not work so well for the other pages that each contain a header image that are the same size as the slider images (go figure)
Thanks for your help. I changed the padding and the slide show works.
Glad you found a solution.
This might be worth looking at as well: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/merging-the-page-header-site-header/#place-content-behind-header-sliders-etc
