Add metaslider into header banner

Hi cren1985,

I had the same issue. I am not en expert either. I will share you the method that I have found. I have modified the index.php situated in the theme folder of wordpress. Well, don’t do that, you will lose changes when the point theme is updated. So the first thing to do is to create a child theme. Please do a google search, great tutorials exist! In a nutshell you will operate changes to your child theme and for all the rest, wordpress will use the parent theme declarations.

Once you have your child theme folder with the style.css file (that’s basically all you need), go to the point theme folder, copy the index.php and paste it to your child theme folder. That’s where you can add after the <div class="article"> (line 5) these lines :

<?php
    echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=113]");
?>

Don’t forget to change the shortcode, and get the right number id for your metaslider.

You can see this on this site (it’s a French site but you can see the integration of the meta slider) :

I hope this can help.

Hello Weakvessel,

I am contending with a similar issue. I want to add a widget to my header so I can display ads there. I am using the Point theme with a temporary url. It is bc2.4e8.myftpupload.com. I have made the widget I want to use but have been unable to tell the widget where I want it to appear.

I’m sure it is just a matter of placing a code snippet in the right place. Would the right place be the .CSS or the header.php? And what would the code look like?

Would you help me please?

I found a very easy way to add a slider to Pinboard theme. If I can figure it out, so can you because I am not a programmer. I prefer Master Slider over Meta Slider. More options.

1. Download the master slider plug-in.

2. Create as many slide-ins however you want them.

3. Go to Widgets and drag the Master Slider Widget onto the box marked Wide.

4. Click the down area on Select a Slider and click on the one you want to add to the top of your page. On mine, it appears just below the menu.
