Hallo X Staff!

I wanna add a Slider or Grid to my Header… it is fixed left. I havent so much Categories so that the Navbar is too empty it means i need more Content for my left Side Header. So i want to add there some Promotion with Rev SLider or Grid that it doesnt look so empty.

I added a Picture for better understanding what i exactly mean…

THX

Hi David,

Thanks for writing in! 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

// Add a custom content below fixed left navbar
// =============================================================================
function add_custom_side_content(){ ?>

  <div class="custom-content-container">
      
      <!-- add your slider or grid shortcode below -->
      
      [revslider name here] or [grid shortcode] 

  </div>

<?php }
add_action('x_after_view_global__nav-primary', 'add_custom_side_content');
// =============================================================================

Hope this helps. Kindly let us know.

Hy X Staff!

THX for the fast answer! Youre Great!

so i added the code you gave me into the childs function.php. and also tested with an shortcode from revslider and the Grid.

It shows up now in the navbar at the right place 🙂 …but it dont work with the shortcode / shortcodes.
I added a Picture for better understanding.

…and one more question 🙂 can i add there also a widget?

Thx and Greetz

David

NOTE!!!: The Grids and SLiders working normally and well if i add them via shortcodes with the WordPress Editor or with Cornerstone. So it cant be a shortcode or Slider/ Grid problem so i think i need a modified Code…

Hi David,

Please try to wrap the shortcode in a do_shortcodefunction like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[the_grid name="Brasilia 309"]'); ?>

Hope this helps.
