Demo slider

Previous query can be ignored; I found slider plugin. I got it to work as expected.

Need to create another forum post regarding its interaction with the SiteOrigins feature.

Hi @hendersonmarka

Thanks for giving Ultra a try. Apologies for the lack of documentation. I’ll have that done ASAP. Really glad to hear you made progress with the Meta Slider integration.

For anyone else reading, once you’ve installed the Meta Slider plugin and created a slider, you can then select it as your home page slider at Appearance > Theme Settings > Home or on any page using the right column Page Slider drop down menu.

Meta Slider Free unfortunately doesn’t have the ability to a text layers, that’s included in their premium offering, Meta Slider Pro. Ultra has a little code baked in that will let you add a layer to each slide using the Caption field in Meta Slider. If you add an image to the Caption field it will be added as a layer. In the case of the demo slider I used:

Main slide image: 1200 x 480
Overlay image added to caption field: 2400 x 960 (doubling the size helps with hi-res)
Slider stretch option in Appearance > Theme Settings: ON

I’ll hop onto your other topic shortly.

Any questions? Fire away.

Previous user is more of a detective than I am… I can’t find the slider controls or where to edit the images…

Any help would be appreciated!

Love the theme – just need to swap out the main page slider images…

Hi @blackhorse1

Great to hear from you.

Header to Plugins > Add New > Search for Meta Slider > Install and activate.
Go to Meta Slider create your slider.
Go to Appearance > Theme Settings > Home > Home Page Slider and choose your slider from the list OR Pages > Home > Page Slider drop down in the right column.
