Hi Brad, I was trying to open http://wpsites.net/web-design/customize-lifestyle-pro-theme-header-image-area/ but it says "Sorry but this content is not available in your country at the moment." Is there any way for me to view this content? I need to modify the size of the header. I'm in Ukraine. Thank you.

I have solved the problem by removing the second instance of Soliloquy slider I had before the footer. Now I need to think of a way to add a different slider there since two of those don't work well together. 🙁

[tproud]

I do have a Soliliquy Slider active - *with* slides (one slide so far) in it. The whole point of my website is using this slider.

[tproud]

It looks like the inactive links are sort of covered by something that makes them invisible to the mouse.... thinking out loud. Still in the dark.

Found the solution at http://wpsites.net/web-design/replace-eleven-40-pro-themes-tagline-area-with-image/. Working on it!

[tproud]

I have replaced the second one with home_slider2 and it works now. Thank you.

[tproud]

I have done it again and added the second code so both codes look like this:

add_action( 'genesis_before_content', '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( '30' ); }

add_action( 'genesis_after_content', '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( '32' ); }

And here is the error message I'm getting right now:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare home_slider() (previously declared in /home/aviation/public_html/wp-content/themes/eleven40-pro/functions.php:154) in /home/aviation/public_html/wp-content/themes/eleven40-pro/functions.php on line 164

I have changed the ‘genesis_after_header’ to ‘genesis_before_content’ and the location is correct now but still the slider is not centered: http://aviation-standards.com/. How can I do that?

Also, I tried adding the same code (your code from http://wpsites.net/best-plugins/installing-full-width-responsive-slider/) but with a different location (‘genesis_before_content’) and slider number, and everything got broken so I had to re-upload the functions.php file and add the first code again. Can I use two of your codes for different locations in functions.php, or is it impossible? Thank you!

[tproud]

Okay, I have changed home-page in your code to the number of my slider and now it displays (YAY!!!) but not exactly where I wanted: http://aviation-standards.com/. I want it to be centered on the page and display directly between the "Double the Safety - Half the Cost!" tagline and the (nav menu + content). Hope it makes sense. Thanks so much!

Hi Brad,

OK, I guess it's not crucial to use the Genesis slider. I just need something to use throughout the site - one below the header and one with different content above the footer, too. Is there a solution for that?
Meanwhile, I have tried using your code at http://wpsites.net/best-plugins/installing-full-width-responsive-slider/. I have installed the Responsive WordPress Slider - Soliloquy Lite and created a test slider which prompted me to use the following template tag:

if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy' ) ) { soliloquy( '30' ); }

I have inserted it at the end of the home.php file but it has not worked. Should I insert the template tag in a different file? Should it be worded differently? Or should I make changes in your code? Your code says:

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' ); }

See, the template tag says if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy' ) while your code says if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy_slider' ). In which of these should I make the changes? And in what file should I put the template tag? Thank you so much for your help.

[tproud]

Thanks, Brad. I would like to use a Genesis slider throughout the site, not just on home page. Should I do any changes to the code you gave me? Thank you.

[tproud]

Thanks for your response!

[tproud]

OK, I have looked into a number of plugins to solve this, and found that Restrict Widgets works best.

[tproud]

thank you very much, that's a start!

[tproud]

The interesting thing is as soon as I remove the slider from the new widget area, the styling gets back to normal.

[tproud]

Thank you so much for your help. I have followed the tutorial and managed to get the slider on my static home page. Now, however, the style is gone, the content area has lost its definitive Generate theme border and is stretched 100% across the page: http://lendingbeeinc.com/test/. It used to look neat and centered and bordered just like the slider and footer area there. Is it possible to fix? Thank you again!

[tproud]

Susan, thanks for your response. I have read the Widgets API thoroughly but since I'm not very code-savvy, I could not do that correctly. Not sure which code I should add to functions.php and which - to home.php. 🙁

[tproud]

I have asked a couple of friends to check it out, they do not see the slider either. @webmaster@uthsc.edu, would you please take a look at http://lendingbeeinc.com/test/ and let me know if you see the slider on top of the page. Thank you.

[tproud]

I'm using Firefox too, and Chrome, there's no slider. What do you see under the slider?

[tproud]

what do you mean?! there's NO slider there, refresh the page
