Minimum Pro – Responsive Slider

[yolohtzin]

Hi - I am hoping someone can help me set up a responsive slider - I made the 'background' smaller and would like the slider this size.

I thank you for being very specific because I am not experienced at changing codes.

If you are using the Genesis Responsive slider you can change the width in the slider settings.

Thanks - should the slider settings be 1600 wide? Problem is I have genesis responsive slider plugin but don't know how to put it were photo of pink roses is.

I have gone through all the back posts and don't know exactly where to start. Can I create widget for it? Please tell me how to get it 'embedded'.

Also I see that perhaps http://wordpress.org/plugins/soliloquy-lite/ is the best slideshow

Thanks so much!

Hi - I activated Soliloquy slider plugin.

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'home_slider', 9 );
/**
* @author Brad Dalton - WP Sites
* @example http://wpsites.net/best-plugins/installing-full-width-responsive-slider/
*/
function home_slider() {
if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy_slider' ) )
soliloquy_slider( 'home-page' ); }

I uploaded 2 photos and got this shortcode [soliloquy id="1015"] and the option of using this if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy_slider' ) ) soliloquy_slider( '1015' );

Now I don't know where to put the code to get the slider to show up

I don't get private replies here.

Please copy the code from the view raw link and paste it at the end of your child themes functions.php file using a text editor like Notepad++

Replace the 88 in the code with the i.d number of your slider.

I am going to give up and keep one photo on the home page - I have no idea how to do this - thanks for your help - it might make sense someday but I don't entirely understand and don't want to do something wrong. Heather

[Brad Dalton]

Fair enough however its very easy to install that slider. All you do is copy and paste the code.

I don't know where to put the code - do I put it at the bottom of the php file and change the code everytime I want a new slider?

What is a view raw link?

Do I need to add both these codes:

add_action( ‘genesis_after_header’, ‘home_slider’, 9 );
/**
* @author Brad Dalton – WP Sites
* @example http://wpsites.net/best-plugins/installing-full-width-responsive-slider/
*/
function home_slider() {
if ( function_exists( ‘soliloquy_slider’ ) )
soliloquy_slider( ‘home-page’ ); }

add_action('genesis_after_header', 'soliloquy_slider_header_home');
/**
* @author Brad Dalton - WP Sites
* @example http://wpsites.net/best-plugins/add-soliloquy-slider-in-header-of-any-theme/
*/
function soliloquy_slider_header_home() {
if (is_front_page()) {
if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy_slider' ) ) soliloquy_slider( '88' );
}
}

and change 88 to 1015 (the code on my slider photos)?

I tried this and the slider didn't show up - do I need to remove background image first or will this override it.

Also if I upgrade to ProSoliloquy will I need to make any changes in php

Thanks - I am a slow learner when it comes to adding this.

On the right hand botton corner of the code above, there's a small link named view raw.

Click that and copy the code then paste it at the end of your child themes functions.php file.

Change 88 to 1015 in the code.

Remove the background image wherever you added it.

Hi - I have got it in the right place - finally. However it is too high - I had previously changed gallery that didn't slide to

.minimum .site-tagline {
margin-top: 600px;
margin-top: 60rem;
}

and like the height it was

How can I change height of responsive slideshow please

Also - why does the black Contact bar (which I think is part of the footer) attached to the gallery?

Thanks!

Heather

[Brad Dalton]

The black bar is your menu so go to Appearance > Menus and remove theme from the checkbox.

The slider settings enable you to determine the dimensions.

Well - I couldn't find where to change slider settings so I bought ProSoliloquy - I deleted the basic soliloquy and after I uploaded pro plugin I got this message

Fatal error: Class 'Tgmsp_Widget' not found in /home4/flowers/public_html/heatherhess.ca/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 324

What do I do now!

Thanks

Heather

[Brad Dalton]
