Dear Alistair,

Many thanks for your suggestion which I have tried but unfortunately, it produced the same result for us: a blank white screen.

Following your comments though, I have simply added SliderPro to the front-page-1 widget and it works, but the slider is not tall enough (even though its setting is 1600 x 1050 px). Essentially, it seems to cut the background image as parts of the image are visible above & below the slider.

By the way, this is the testing site: http://www.staging3.pairfum.com

With kind regards,

Pairfum

Dear Alistair,

Many thanks for your suggestion.

Unfortunately, it did not seem to work for me. The site crashed completely, i.e. blank page.

This is what I did:

In front-page.php, I deleted lines 71 - 74:
genesis_widget_area( 'front-page-1', array(
'before' => '<div id="front-page-1" class="front-page-1"><div class="image-section"><div class="flexible-widgets widget-area' . altitude_widget_area_class( 'front-page-1' ) . '"><div class="wrap">',
'after' => '</div></div></div></div>',
) );

Then I inserted your code in the same area:
echo ‘<div id=”front-page-1″><div class=”wrap”>';
genesis_widget_area( ‘front-page-1′, array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”front-page-1 widget-area”>’, ) );
echo ‘</div></div>';

Subsequently, I added our slider to the Front Page 1 widget.

Can you see whether I did anything that was not in accordance with your instructions ?

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Pairfum

Dear Pixelhappy,

I placed a shortcode of home slider from SliderPro into the text widget for Front Page 1 but it does not work.

Just to avoid confusion, as short codes don't work in WordPress text widgets by default, but I enabled them by adding the following code to our theme's functions.php file:

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );

The slider does become visible but it does not display well:
- only the bottom half of the slider is visible
- part of the background image underneath is still visible above the home slider
- the other home page images have all disappeared and instead sections of the home slider appear

Hence, any suggestions for a solution would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for your help

Dear Swohlert and AlistairMcKenzie,

I am trying to achieve the same either with the genesis responsive slider or the SliderPro plugin.

Did you find a solution that you can post here ?

Many thanks for your help.
