Hi,
For vantage free, other than using metaslider, is there any other slider that we can use?

Hi Addo,
I have installed layer slider. How do i change the slider?
Hi Judy
Say for example you wanted to insert LayerSlider in the exact same place as MetaSlider on the home page, this is what you’d do. Firstly create a child theme for Vantage, your child theme’s style.css should look something like this:
Now in your child theme place a copy of the current header.php file. Then open that file and insert your slider call between these two lines:
So in my case my final result looked like this:
You’ll see I have a little PHP in there to restrict my LayerSlider to only the home page.
When you enable your child theme you will need to re-do your Customizer settings. My advice to make this as smooth as possible is to have your current Customizer screen open in one tab, and your new Customizer in another, then just go section by section, copying your settings across.
Here is a child theme to match this thread:

Hope that helps.
