Just got a new plugin but i cant seem to but my shortkode in the themesettings Home Page Slider
Any help?
Hi Peter
Thanks for running Vantage.
Just taking a guess but any chance you’ve mixed up the slider in our new theme Influence (which accepts a shortcode) and the Vantage slider which is an integration with Meta Slider?
Our documentation on the Vantage slider is here: https://siteorigin.com/vantage-documentation/getting-started/slider/.
Hello Andrew thanks for the reply. What i am asking is if i can link a shortkode into the themesettings Home Page Slider. I’m not using Meta Slider so i can’t use the same method. I’m using jQuery banner rotaer (plugin) which is a little different :( any help?
You’ll need to create a child theme for Vantage: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes. Copy header.php into your child theme and replace line 34 which reads:
with:
<?php if(is_front_page()) echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=189]"); ?>Replacing my shortcode with the shortcode of your slider.
