Hello Team. I am really in trouble after installing the MODERN SLIDER suite. I tried to understand Hero Posts Slider but both by looking at the tutorial and by going to see the features, I did not understand for example where the images and texts for each slide should be added. All the other settings are fine by me for the moment. I would not have made any mistakes during the installation phase, so I am sending you the secure note and the page where I am trying the slider is called test.
Thanks for your help
Hey @ferlo61,
The Hero Posts Slider displays 3 of your Recent Posts. You can see that by inspecting the Looper Provider setup of the Hero Posts Slider element.
With that said, you need to have or create posts. You currently have none.
If you inspect the elements within the Hero Posts Slider, you’ll see the elements using Dynamic Content. For example, the Image element uses the Featured Image Dynamic Content so your posts must have a featured image.
Hope that helps.
All very complicated.
But I’ll try, thanks
You’re welcome.
Forgive me Christian but unfortunately I cannot understand after I have created the post how to continue. I’m afraid the legendary simplicity of X or PRO with this beautiful addon has been lost. Even the tutorial in my opinion is very “light” and should instead be designed step by step for customers like me.
I spent my money on trust, badly.
Thanks anyway.
Massimo
Hey Massimo,
Thank you for your feedback.
Below is a screen recording showing that adding a featured image to a post displays in the Hero Post Slider.
In case that is not what you need or need to add more content to the slider, please detail what you want to achieve so we could point you to the right settings.
Thanks.
Thanks Christian for the support but, trust me, I’m a little confused … now I try to get into this “philosophy”.
Thank you again
Tell me if I understand correctly.
- I have to work at the post level
- Each image of the slider needs its own dedicated post
Correct?
Hello @ferlo61,
The Hero Posts Slider is a dynamically generated slider that comes from your latest post items. Each of the image along with the texts in each slide is coming from the post itself. Do you want to display a static image? If that is the case, then you would need to do the following:
1.) Disable the Looper Provider in the Hero Post Slider element
2.) Disable the Looper Consumer in the Slide (Article) element
3.) Duplicate the Slide (Article) element
4.) Upload and insert an image in the Figure element in each slides
5.) Add your own text contents for each slide.
The Element structure should like this then:
If I may ask, what are you trying to do? Do you want to use the Hero Post Slider to display custom images and text?
Kindly let us know how it goes.
Thanks for the reply. I just want to make some hero slides to insert on some pages of my site by adding text with some effects. That’s all.
Thanks again
I’ve done everything you described to me but the images don’t load. The login credentials are still valid, could you take a look?
Thank you
Hey Massimo,
Would you mind sharing with us the correct page URL where your modern slider is present? In that way, we can troubleshoot properly with your issue.
Thank you.
Hi, is www.ferlito.it/test1
Thanks
Hi @ferlo61,
I have investigated it thoroughly and I found that the condition for the Figure is set to the Feature Image is Set as shown in the given screenshot. As you are not using the Looper Provider and the posts for the sliders, you need to remove the condition to show the images. I removed the condition from the first slide and it shows the image now.
Thanks
Honestly, it still doesn’t work … and the images aren’t there
Can I find the conditions in the customize section?
Hi @ferlo61,
I have checked the page again and found that the condition has been set back to the image again instead of figure for the first slide. I assume that you might have copied the slide and removed the looper provider from the Hero Posts Slider to add the slides manually, but forget to remove the condition and the dynamic content from the image and other places. For the first slide, the image has been added manually, and the condition has been removed to show the image. You need to follow the same for other slides too.
NOTE: The condition can be found in the Customize section as shown in the given screenshot.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Too complicated for me. I went back to the original configuration with the posts. I just want to know why, despite having entered six posts, the page only displays three.
Thanks for your patience
Hi @ferlo61,
It shows only 3 posts as that set into the Looper Provider as shown in the given screenshot. I would suggest you set the value you want to show.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
As soon as I have more time I evaluate the two solutions.
Thanks for your time and good work
Massimo
