I didn't mean this to sound like a canned response. Sometimes a simple guide like this is all people need. Also what you are asking for has many variables. For instance there are all kinds of sliders so to point to one may not meet your needs. However I will try again with a bit more info with some specific links.
- Add a new widget area to the Configure Header Area box using the following code
PHP Code:
<?php bfa_widget_area('name=Slider'); ?>
- Install the Linkable Title Html and Php Widget
- Install the slider. One I have used is Pointelle from SliderVilla
- Go to your site and refresh a couple of time so the new widget area is created. You will now have a new widget area called Slider in Appearance>Widgets
- Drag the Linkable Title Html and Php Widget into the Slider widget area
- Add the code for the slider into Linkable Title Html and Php Widget. It will look something like the following where '2' is the slider ID, which you can get from the 'Sliders' settings panel
PHP Code:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_pointelle_slider' ) ) {
get_pointelle_slider('2'); } ?>
- You will also have to add the necessary images, posts, or pages and configure the slider as needed.
- For complete instructions on how to use that slider you can go here.
These are instructions for one slider and it took me about 15 minutes to write this out and that is knowing the steps because I just installed this in a site. If I had to write instructions for other sliders it would take more time than I am willing to spend. We try to help a bunch of people on this forum and can't even take the 15 minutes I just did for this post for everyone. Otherwise this would be a full time job.
The theme has all sorts of documentation built in and the various plugins usually have sites that explain use and installation. You want an article or YouTube vid on how to do this and I could certainly produce one but I would have to know which slider you want to install and something like that would have to be on an hourly basis as it would probably take me an hour or more to produce the simplest of videos for one particular slider.
Well I am now up to almost 25 minutes on writing this out so I gotta quit. I hope I didn't overdo it but I was a bit miffed with your canned response comment so I felt compelled to be a bit verbose and over the top. I think I have it out of my system now.
