Hi there

Is there anyway of changing the post carousel at the top of the Ethos 1 theme and replacing it with my own essential grid?

On My homepage, you’ll see I have a grid at the bottom, I’d like the post carousel to have the same skin so they both match.

The site is currently under construction, so log-in details are on the next post

Many thanks as ever

James

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

It’s possible, but you will be editing this file,

\wp-content\themes\x\framework\views\ethos\_post-carousel.php

But before you do that, copy that file to your child theme (eg. \wp-content\themes\x-child\framework\views\ethos\_post-carousel.php )

and replace the entire content of your child theme’s post-carousel.php with this code with your essential grid’s shortcode.

<?php echo do_shortcode('[your_essential_grid_shortcode]'); ?>

Hope this helps.

Hi guys. I tried implementing the above but it didn’t seem to work. I was just getting a blank page and all content disappeared.

Do I remove ALL the content from this file

\wp-content\themes\x\framework\views\ethos\_post-carousel.php

Also do I leave the ” in this? <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[your_essential_grid_shortcode]’); ?>

My short code is

[ess_grid alias=”top featured”]

Sorry – I’m a code novice!

Hi,

You need to copy the file first to your child theme -> wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/views/ethos/_post-carousel.php

Then remove all the contents of this file wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/views/ethos/_post-carousel.php
and add this code <?php echo do_shortcode('[your_essential_grid_shortcode]'); ?>

Hope that helps.

Hi – thanks Paul… I’ve done all that.
This is what I am replacing the code with, but it just makes the carousel disappear altogether

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ess_grid alias=”top featured”]’); ?>

Sorry – that seems to have kicked in now and is working – many thanks guys awesome work…

Can I ask an Essential Grid question while here… is there any way of making the grid a loop, so when people click left or right, it only rotates one slide and the slides keep on looping to fill up any white space

At the moment, when I click on the arrows, it moves all four of the slides along and then leaves one slide with dead white space…

many thanks

Hi there,

Thanks for updating. I am not sure if that could be possible with Essential Grid or not. Kindly explore their documentation if you find such option – http://essential.themepunch.com/documentation/

Cheers!
