Create a home page slider

By delsol, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Hello,

I´m using influence and I can´t figure out how to create my own slider for the home page with two images and a logo – similar as the demo slider.

Can you please help me.

Thank you very much,

Tim

    You need to download the plugin ‘SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle’, this comes with the necessary slider for you.
    From here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/

    Once installed and activated in your Plugins section, visit Appearance -> Theme Settings -> Home Page Tab.
    Now change the Slider from Demo to ‘Slider Widget’, you can now add new Slider Frames below such as images and videos, you can also change animation speeds and how long it takes between image/video transitions.

    perfect, it worked. Thanks.
    Can you please also tell me how to put a link “contact” and an “impressum” to my impressum-site in the footer?

    The footer can be customised by going to:
    Appearance -> Customise -> Widgets (near bottom) -> Footer.

    From here you could for example insert a Text widget, and write HTML to add in the footer information you require.

    Great, it worked :)! Thanks for your fast response.

    There is one more thing. I can´t remove the date when an article is postet and the category.

    You see it under the lorem ipsum text unter my slider. “Allgemein” and “Posted on 5. November 2014”

    Is there any chance to remove that?

    Glad it’s worked.
    I’m not massively sure about that to be honest, i’ve only been using WordPress with SiteOrigin’s stuff for about 6 hours now.

    However, one thing you should install mainly because it’s amazing is SiteOrigins PageBuilder from here: Page: Page Builder Plugin

    It will allow you to generate fantastic looking pages extremely easily.

    If i find out how to remove the posted time, i will let you know.

    Ah just found it.
    Open Content.php in ./wp-content/themes/influence, remove the line:

    <div class="posted-on"><?php influence_posted_on(); ?></div>

    Should work in theory.

    Perfect, the category still shows up, but the date is gone. Thanks.

    I´ll try PageBuilder now!

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi delsol

    Thanks for running Influence.

    To remove the post date try the following in a plugin like Simple Custom CSS or Jetpack Custom CSS:

    /* Influence Hide Single Post Date */

article.entry .entry-meta .posted-on {
display: none;
}

    If you do land up editing theme code please remember to use a child theme or your changes will lost the next time you update the theme.

    Mark, thanks for your help, much appreciated!!

    Ok, I did what someone posted to do on the slider, but it is not sliding….it is not transparent, and there is no place to add words, all the things I really wanted to have which is why I chose the Influence theme. Also I am just a regular joe shmo – no html codes…just an average person wanting to build a decent website
