    I’d like to set up a meta slider in a custom child theme based on the genesis framework. Could you please tell me how to modify my Functions.php to add in the Meta Slider? Here is the relevant section from my functions.php

    add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesisawesome_flexslider', 20 );
/**
 * GenesisAwesome Responsive Flexslider
 *
 * @since 1.0
 *
 * @return null
 */
function genesisawesome_flexslider() {

	if ( ! is_home() || ! genesis_get_option( 'enable_homepage_slider', GA_CHILDTHEME_FIELD ) )
		return;

	/* Custom Query Args */
	$ga_slider_args = array(
		'posts_per_page' => absint( genesis_get_option( 'homepage_slider_number', GA_CHILDTHEME_FIELD ) ),
		'cat'            => absint( genesis_get_option( 'homepage_slider_category', GA_CHILDTHEME_FIELD ) )
	);

	/* Creating new WP Query */
	$ga_slider_query = new WP_Query( $ga_slider_args );

	/* THE CUSTOM LOOP */
	if ( $ga_slider_query->have_posts() ) {
	?>
	<div id="aliphatic-slider">
		<div class="wrap">
			<div class="flexslider">
				<ul class="slides">
				<?php
				while ( $ga_slider_query->have_posts() ) {
					$ga_slider_query->the_post();
					if ( $slide_image = genesis_get_image( array( 'size' => 'aliphatic-slider-image' ) ) ) {
						?>

<li>
							<a>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php echo $slide_image; ?></a>
							<div class="flex-caption">
								<h2><a>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
							</div>
						</li>
						<?php
					}
				}
				?>

			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
	<?php
	}

  • Hi there,

    It should be a case of commenting out the existing code and replacing it with the Meta Slider template include – and changing the slider ID, something like this (please note I have not tested this cod):

    add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesisawesome_flexslider', 20 );
/**
 * GenesisAwesome Responsive Flexslider
 *
 * @since 1.0
 *
 * @return null
 */
function genesisawesome_flexslider() {

	if ( ! is_home() || ! genesis_get_option( 'enable_homepage_slider', GA_CHILDTHEME_FIELD ) )
		return;

	echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=1234]"); 

	/* Custom Query Args */
	/*
	$ga_slider_args = array(
			'posts_per_page' => absint( genesis_get_option( 'homepage_slider_number', GA_CHILDTHEME_FIELD ) ),
			'cat'            => absint( genesis_get_option( 'homepage_slider_category', GA_CHILDTHEME_FIELD ) )
		);*/

	/* Creating new WP Query */
	/*$ga_slider_query = new WP_Query( $ga_slider_args );*/

	/* THE CUSTOM LOOP */
 	/*
	if ( $ga_slider_query->have_posts() ) {
	?>
	<div id="aliphatic-slider">
		<div class="wrap">
			<div class="flexslider">
				<ul class="slides">
				<?php
				while ( $ga_slider_query->have_posts() ) {
					$ga_slider_query->the_post();
					if ( $slide_image = genesis_get_image( array( 'size' => 'aliphatic-slider-image' ) ) ) {
						?>

<li>
							<a>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php echo $slide_image; ?></a>
							<div class="flex-caption">
								<h2><a>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
							</div>
						</li>
						<?php
					}
				}
				?>

			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
	<?php
	}*/
