Hello,

I have a child theme set up and I have done a few custom codes in the functions.php and header views. Now I am wanting to add in a revolution slider below the header, but above the post feed on the blog page only.

I want to put <?php putRevSlider( 'blogslider' ); ?> but I have been unsuccessful in finding which exact file I should add the code to. If you have any suggestions or solutions, that would be great.

Thank you

Hi there,

Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

Then add the following code into your child theme’s functions.php file and then replace agency-home with your slider alias which you can locate under slider settings.

function my_custom_slider() { 
	if ( is_home() ) {
?>

<!-- Begin My Custom Slider -->
<div class="x-container max width">
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[rev_slider alias="agency-home"]'); ?>
</div>
<!-- End My Custom Slider -->

<?php 
	}
}

add_action( 'x_after_site_begin', 'my_custom_slider' );

Hope that helps.

Hello!

Thank you, that did, indeed insert the slider into the blog page, but it put it above the header instead of only above the blog feed.

Is there a way to insert the slider below the header, but before the blog post feed? This is what I’m looking for…. but now that I have this piece of code, I might even figure it out on my own 😀

Hi there,

Please update your code to :

function my_custom_slider() { 
  if ( is_home() ) {
?>

<!-- Begin My Custom Slider -->
<div class="x-container max width">
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[rev_slider alias="agency-home"]'); ?>
</div>
<!-- End My Custom Slider -->

<?php 
  }
}

add_action( 'x_before_view_integrity__landmark-header', 'my_custom_slider' );

Hope it helps.

Awesome, thanks! Is it possible to make the sidebar come up beside the slider? Or am I asking too much 🙂

I’m trying to replicate something similar to this: http://velikorodnov.com/wordpress/revija/home2/

Hi there,

Please check their slider examples to see if there is any similar effect that you like (https://revolution.themepunch.com/free-slider-exchange/) and then you can import it to your site.

Thanks!
