HI!
Just downloaded influence for www.southphillycollaborates.com. LOVE IT! Trying to see how to change the overlay and background images in the slider. ALso, the specs (size /format) of the background and foreground images? I tried to figure it out…checked the threads (I’m not a techie…just a home user).
Also, how to upload a favicon?
If I need to purchase the pro version to do these things…no problem! I’ll buy it!
THANKS!
Marina
Hi Marina
Influence Plus is free, head over to Appearance > Influence Plus to upgrade.
Our Slider Widget documentation is over here: https://siteorigin.com/widgets-bundle/slider-widget-documentation/
We recommend the following to manage your Favicon: http://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-favicon/.
Hope that helps.
Hi, Andrew! Thank you for the info!!!
Sorry I am not super techie!
I uploaded and activated PLUS plugin, but still don’t see a way to change the pics in the HOMEPAGE slider.
Or, how to add the slider to any other pages.
I add the row, the slider widget, upload the fore and background images…then, nothing. I think I’m following directions right.
MOST IMPORTANT: The homepage slider. I actually love the HP slider basically as is. Just need to modify the OVERLAY/foreground images a bit and then put them back.
What am I missing?
thanks!
Marina
The demo slider unfortunately isn’t there as an actual slider to modify.
Under Appearance > Theme Settings > Home Page > Home Slider are you assigning a slider shortcode by using the drop down to the right of the setting: Home Slider?
Hi,
Thanks!
About the setting: Home Slider, I did the drop down, and selected Slider Widget. It looked like it was ready to roll…I added a foreground and background pic…nothing.
Then, I added a row/slider widget at top home page, did the fore/back pics…nothing. Blank.
Andrew—can I hire you for this?
ALL I need to do is have my designer create overlays that look basically exactly like what’s there now in the HP slider—then have them uploaded.
OR, barring that, I need to replace the default hp slider with your slider widget—and start from scratch. But I need help…can I hire you to do this discreet task? If yes, how much?
THANKS!
Hi,
Another question about the slider…I don’t what I’m doing wrong…not matter where I put the slider widget, I get nothing on the page. I placed the widget in a page, added fore/background pics….looked like it was going to work..but nothing.
Not sure what I’m missing…
Any guidance, much appreciated!
THANKS!

Please send through a set of temporary login details to [email protected] and I’ll take a look ASAP. Please include a link back to this thread so I can reference the mail. Thanks :)
Thanks so much and done!
Again, the ONLY thing I need is access to the OVERLAY images in the demoslider. I just want to tweak both a bit, and then put back. Can that happen?
ALSO, is there a way to have a menu that looks like a traditional menu when you’re on a desk/laptop?
THANKS!
Marina
I’ve been playing with the HOME SLIDER that is meant to replace the DEMO SLIDER (I think, anyway). It doesn’t seem to respect the top margin. I mean the header where they top-menu appears. What’s the trick here? Do you need to make the background graphic with a grey top bar in order to make it not appear under the top-menu? If you don’t use a background-image, then the main image ignores the margin and tromps on the header area. I can post an example if necessary.
Hi Nathan

Hi, Andrew,
Did I successfully set you up with admin access? You should have gotten an email…If not, let me know and I’ll try again.
Again, andrew….just need to change the overlay images on the slider (I’m going to change “free wordpress theme” to my info. And add a map marker to the world map overlay on slider 2. Any help…I’d appreciate (and would pay you for that task!)
THANKS!
Marina
Hi Marina
I’ll dive in there ASAP.
Thanks
Hi Marina
Under Appearance > Theme Settings > Home Page there is no slider added under Home Slider so if you change the drop down menu from Demo Slider to Slider Widget there isn’t anything to add. If you now go to Appearance > Theme Settings > Home Page, scroll down to the slider, see the first frame, click the down arrow on the far right. I’ve added a background image there for you as an example. If you switch the drop down arrow over to Slider Widget you’ll see this slider appear on your home page.
Hi Nathan and Andrew and thanks for your help!
Ok..I see what you did…did what you instructed. Then, I put a new image in the foreground, and the slider disappeared altogether.
Again, ALL I want is to change the FOREGROUND images of the homepage slider. That’s all. If I could get access to those pngs…my designer could make changes…and I’d like to re-upload.
What would it take for this to happen? That’s my only need…
THANKS!

For sure.
To confirm, the demo slider isn’t editable as a functional slider, it’s static object.
Here is an easy place to find GPL licensed images: http://thestocks.im/.
I’m looking at your site now, Appearance > Home Page > Home Slider. It looks like no images are added to the frame. Really hard to say what’s happening in your side. Are you saving Settings at the bottom of the page before leaving it? I’ve added a foreground image for you to take a look at this time.
If you’ll find it easier you can install Meta Slider: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ml-slider/. Create a slider using Meta Slider under the menu item that will appear in the left menu after installing it. Once your slider has been created grab the shortcode from the right column and add it to the shortcode space provided at Appearance > Theme Settings > Home Slider.
