Remove the slider

Also, I am using a static homepage to get rid of the blog posts on the homepage, but there is still a large gap below the 3 information boxes and above the footer.
How do I get rid of that gap?

Hi Keeperbay,

You can add your own slider directly from the theme options panel. Simply select the “Custom” option under the homepage slider and add the shortcode of the 3rd party slider you want to use. You can then style this using css.

Try adding the following custom code to either your child theme or directly from the General Settings -> Custom CSS box in the options panel to get rid of the extra white space on the homapage:

.home #content {
display: none;
}

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks,

Thank you.

I have added our custom slider, but it doesn’t sit correctly and the background shows through on the edges of the slider. I have attempted to correct the centering issue using the css, but there is still a large space under the slider images. With the background bleeding through and the space under the images I think it would be easier to just remove the slider and enter my own – see image of background issue: https://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm256/barefootmarket/background_zpsc5b7c4b8.jpg

I shall try the css now. Thank you.
But is there away to fix the centering, and space under the slider images and give it all one background color?

Hi Keeperbay,

When the custom slider option is selected none of the ThinkUpSlider code is output. All of the issues on the image should be easy to fix however I can’t guide on which css to change without looking into the code.

Do you have a live version of your website up? If you’re working on localhost can you put a live version up temporarily so I can figure out which css will be needed to fix the issue.

Thanks,

@andrew, Thanks.

Got it! Brain kicked into night or something.

Only thing left is to figure out why there is so much space under the slider!!

Hi Keeperbay,

Try adding the following code to your child theme or to General Settings -> Custom CSS field. This should reduce the space between the slider and the featured boxes:

#section-home-inner {
margin-top: 40px;
}

Thanks,

Thank you for your reply.
That didn’t work, but I think I may hold off a little because the slider we will use on the actual site is different and I’m wondering if that will make a difference.
Thanks again.

I posted the content below to the forum, but my post seems to have vanished, so I’m reposting it here:

In the category archive where the Pinterest style boxes show all the posts in that category, it looks great when I land on it, but on Refresh the boxes start to overlap.

Go here: https://howtoburnfood.com/category/uncategorized/
Then refresh the browser in Chrome (or IE and Safari).
It doesn’t happen in FireFox.

Also, is there anyway to Easily make the Pinterest style boxes, into the regular excerpt style boxes?
