Hi there,

sory to bother again, I realy tried to handle it myself but I didnt have any success so far.

So here is the problem:
In my nav-bar I have placed a Category Page and a Portfolio. Now what i would like to do is add a Revolution Slideshow to promote surtain Posts and Portfolio Item directly underneath the nav-bar on these two Pages.

I assume what i have to do is adding the Revolution Slider Code leading to a sertain Slideshow (wich i have no clue where to find that code) into the right .php files (wich i also dont know where to find).

Thanks alot for the Help, and maybe if it helps I would like to let you know that it would be realy great for me, if in the future these Pages could also be edited within the dashboard. And also I bet you will like to hear that this particular problem is the last one i have to solve! (Or at least so I hope! 😉 )

Hey John,

you can ask us as much at any time as you want, that’s what we are here for!

I hope I understood your question right: you want to add a specific slide to a specific page? We have a video tutorial on how to setup the slides and assign them to single pages you can find it in the Video Tutorials section under Customizer > Sliders.

You have to create several revolution slider and for each one in the customizer there will be a slide (Customizer > Slider). There you also can assign that slide to a specific page.

If this didn’t answer your question then please try to explain it a bit more in detail and I am sure I will be able to help you!

Whell almoust! 🙂
As far as I can see that only works for a regular Page. Within the Customizer, when trying to select the page I want to place the slider on i can only choose the regular Pages. But my Blog-Category and Portfolio arent listed so I assumed this isnt possible. There for i was mentioning editing the .php files of these.

Hope this makes my problem more understandable.

Hey John,

I totally understand what you’re trying to achieve and that’s currently not possible. To do that it would require you to create a child theme and then edit some files and in addition to that due the fact that we handle all category pages with one template file you would need to add conditional tags which can get a bit complex. We are already looking into this feature and maybe gonna add it in a future release so my recommendation would be waiting. But displaying revolution slider on category pages is kinda exotic so if you really still want to do it I can help you with it just prepare for some advanced changes to achieve it.

Sorry that I don’t have better news for you, if you need anything else let me know.

[John D. CParticipant]

Mhhh too bad. But thank you anyways, I’ll do as you said and whait for this to be featured. I would realy realy like that, but for now i guess i can work arround that in some other way.

Thanks again! 🙂

The homepage I had already designed before I puchased X last week looks similar to this http://snag.gy/7iDgB.jpg (screenshot of a similar page): a slider at the top of the content (under the navbar) and then posts in fixed size containers. I was trying to get a slider on a blog page but could not make it work. Switched to the idea to use the portfolio page instead and put a slider on the portfolio, could not make that work either. This layout option is really essential to me.
The other challenge is making a fixed size container for posts. Which div or class should I adjust in the custom CSS?
Can you help me out with both?

Hey there,

I’m not sure if you have read the responses in this thread, but adding a slider to the blog and portfolio pages is not currently possible due to how WordPress handles these archive templates. We are looking into a solution to resolve this. If you absolutely need this feature and are comfortable installing and setting up a child theme, copying and altering template files, and implementing your own markup, we can help guide you through this process, but we cannot perform your alterations for you.

You can set a fixed size for the site by targeting this class combination:

.x-container-fluid.max.width {
  width: 960px;
}

Keep in mind that due to the dynamic nature of X, this will not stop the responsive styles from occurring for other elements as you size down.

Thanks for the respons. I will be looking in to a child theme to resolve the slider/post issue. About the fixed size: I am looking for a fixed height for a post, not for the site. What I am trying to achieve is all posts in the same size on the blog page, not only the width but also the height of the excerpt, like the example in the screenshot.

Hey Baja,

we currently do not have an option to do that. This would require advanced editing of the code and css of the theme.
