Hey guys,

first of all, your theme is brilliant! I absolutely love it!

1 question though:
how can I use different home page sliders when I switch the language?

I am using the WPML plugin for languages.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Alexander

    Thanks for your positive feedback, glad to hear Vantage is working out.

    You can, but it requires a custom theme and a little custom development work. Here is a thread discussing the matter: https://siteorigin.com/thread/multilingual-metaslider-on-homepage/

    In summary:

    <?php vantage_render_slider() ?>

    in header.php needs to be replaced with the conditional being discussed in that thread:

    <?php

$currentlang = get_bloginfo('language');

    if( is_front_page()) {

         if($currentlang=="en-US") {
                 echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=8]'); // English
         }

         if($currentlang=="de-DE") {
                 echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=30]'); // German
         }

         if($currentlang=="es-ES") {
                 echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=32]'); // Spanish
         }

         if($currentlang=="ca-CA") {
                 echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=33]'); // Catalan
         }

         if($currentlang=="nl-NL") {
                 echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=34]'); // Dutch
         }
    }
?>

    header.php needs to be contained within a child theme.
