hi there,

i realise there are many similar requests in the forum. but none so far did work for me. maybe also i have not enough php knowledge to make it possible. also i use the icon stack and most posts refer to different stacks with the same question.

is there any way for a not so experienced user to get this done? a rev-slider in the header of the blog page (which is – in my case – the start page of the website).

or maybe maybe 😉 will this be a feature of the elusive version 5 of x? hope hope 🙂

thanks a lot and best wishes, kai

Hello There,

Thanks for providing the information. What you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would like to suggest that you use 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.

After the child theme is set up, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

// Displaying custom slider on main blog index and single blog posts
// =============================================================================
function add_custom_slider(){ ?>

  <?php if ( is_home() || is_single() ) : ?>
  
	  <div class="custom-slider">
	    <?php putRevSlider( 'my-slider-slug' ); ?>
	  </div>

  <?php endif; ?>

<?php }
add_action('x_before_view_global__slider-above', 'add_custom_slider');
// =============================================================================

The code above will display a custom slider in your blog and single blog posts. Just do not forget to insert the correct slider-slug.

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.

heureka!!! thanks so much! that was pretty easy, too.
some threads in the forum sounded much more complicated to me.
now only the topbar is below the slider. can the slider be under the topbar like on the other pages, too?
thanks a million! kai

Hi Kai,

Please change the code to this.

// Displaying custom slider on main blog index and single blog posts
// =============================================================================
function add_custom_slider(){ ?>

  <?php if ( is_home() || is_single() ) : ?>
  
      <div class="custom-slider">
          <?php putRevSlider( 'my-slider-slug' ); ?>
      </div>

  <?php endif; ?>

<?php }
add_action('x_after_view_global__topbar', 'add_custom_slider');
// =============================================================================

Thanks
