Hi Brad, yes you’ll want to change the slideshow dimensions in the settings to fit the size of your slideshow. Do this first and then upload your slide images for the slides.
The CSS is just for styling your theme, you can’t use the slideshow template tag in your stylesheet, as it’s PHP. If you can I’d try to use either the slideshow shortcode, or the slideshow widget, so that you can avoid messing with PHP. But it depends on your theme and where you want the slideshow to go exactly. I would check and see if the header of your theme is widgetized.
Hi Josh,
The header in my theme allows you to upload a custom image, if that’s what you mean. But that’s as much as it appears you can do.
No, that would only support a single image. It looks like the theme had a widgetized header, go into the the Widgets section of the admin, you should see a “Header Area”, you could add the Meteor Slides Widget to that area.
There is an image widget in the theme but it only allows you to “Showcase a single image with a Title, URL, and a Description”. I guess I’m outta luck :/
Thanks though,
Brad
Meteor Slides has a widget you can use to add a slideshow to a widget area. If you have Meteor Slides active you should see the widget.
Yes, I see that. Unfortunately my template will not display widgets on “pages” only posts.
I think I need someone to code some custom stuff for this template. Know anyone who’s good at it?
Thanks for all the help Josh
It shouldn’t be too tough to fix, probably your theme is just loading the header widget area conditionally, and the conditional needs to be removed so that it will load on each page.
