Hi everyone,
just saw that you moved all your support to here, so I’ll just repost my thread from wordpress.org
I’m atm creating a multilingual website using the vantage theme and polylang plugin. I can translate all needed widgets except the Metaslider on the homepage. I know that there is a way to change sliders in different languages while creating content. An example that works for me there:
But I have problems changing the slider on the homepage. The one that gets shown by the vantage_render_slider function.
Is there a possibility to enter a similar code to the above one for this slider? Currently I’m just creating error after error…
Somehow the code got lost in my last post, so another try:
$currentlang = get_bloginfo('language'); if($currentlang=="en") { echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=8]'); // English } if($currentlang=="de") { echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=30]'); // German } if($currentlang=="es") { echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=32]'); // Spanish } if($currentlang=="ca") { echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=33]'); // Catalan } if($currentlang=="nl") { echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=34]'); // Dutch }probably this post will turn out to be a black block as well… but another try
Hi Philip
Please send through your child theme to [email protected] and I’ll take a look.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks a lot but I figured out a “solution” already. I was all the time trying to change the “function vantage_render_slide” in the function.php, what didn’t work out for me. I still think there is a way, but for my needs it was enough to remove vantage_render_slider() in the header.php and replace it with the following
$currentlang = get_bloginfo('language'); if( is_front_page()) { if($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 } }I can’t change the slider through Vantage Customize anymore, but that’s not a big deal, as this can be achieved by editing each slider directly in the Metaslider plugin. I use the responsive layout option and when the sliders are well configurated in Metaslider this works fine. Just in case this might help someone else.
Thanks for sharing – glad you got this sorted.
