I would like to use the EPS slide on the Vantage Premium theme homepage but am a noob when it comes to wordpress. Is there anyway to use EPS instead of the meta or default slider? If so, how would this be done?

Thanks!

    Hi. You’ll need to create a child theme: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes. Your style.css file in your child theme should look as follows:

    /*
 Theme Name:     Vantage Child New Slider
 Author:         SiteOrigin
 Template:       vantage
 Version:        1.0.0
*/
@import url("../vantage/style.css");

    Then copy the header.php file from your current Vantage theme and paste it into your child theme’s folder. In header.php locate this line:

    <?php vantage_render_slider() ?>

    And replace it with this line:

    <?php echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=16]") ?>

    Where I’ve put [metaslider id=16] insert the shortcode for your slider. Keep in mind you will need to redo your Customizer settings after activating your child theme.

      Meta Slider works fine for most pages, but I’d like to replace it on certain pages with another plugin [smartslider2]

      My problem with simply using the shortcode is that the site wrapper is preventing a full page width display.

      This is what I’ve tried (in various places within my child theme header.php …with no luck:

    My initial reply to this thread didn’t restrict the slider to the home page, so instead of inserting:

    <?php echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=16]") ?>

    Rather insert:

    <?php if(is_front_page()) echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=189]"); ?>
