Blog Slider Fixes

Support
#1

Hello! I am looking for two fixes for the blog slider that exists on this page:

I’m looking to make the slider full width without making the entry content below it full width (I believe it’s because it’s in a container, but I’m not sure how to fix it.)

Also, I am looking to speed up the load of the slider, so is there a simple way to do this? It takes a while to buffer on initial page load.

Please let me know if you have any fixes for me.

Thanks!

Hi there,

This is possible but will involve customization through a child theme. First, login through FTP then go to wp-content/themes/pro-child/framework/views/ethos then create the file wp-index.php. Please note that if any of those directories is not create, you may manually create them.

Then add this code to the file:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/ETHOS/WP-INDEX.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Index page output for Ethos.
// =============================================================================

$is_filterable_index = is_home() && x_get_option( 'x_ethos_filterable_index_enable' ) == '1';

get_header();

?>
<?php x_get_view( 'ethos', '_post', 'slider' ); ?>
  <div class="x-container max width main">

    

    <div class="offset cf">
      <div class="<?php x_main_content_class(); ?>" role="main">

        <?php if ( $is_filterable_index ) : ?>
          <?php x_get_view( 'ethos', '_index' ); ?>
        <?php else : ?>
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_index' ); ?>
        <?php endif; ?>

      </div>

      <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    </div>
  </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

You may try to optimize the size of the image you are using as it might take longer to load if you are using huge images.

Hope this helps.
