placing of slider on page

Hi @mistral7-wporg,

You should be able to put it in a sidebar widget so it will appear over there on the right. Text wrap should be automatic. Let me know if that doesn’t work. Thanks

Hi kbatdorf,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, I am reasonably sure it will work that way but what I was hoping for was a coding such as <align=”alignright”> to move it across the page, not in the sidebar.
– but align does not work in this instance.

I was also hoping to be able to wrap text like I can with images.

I will check back with the theme author to see if there is a way, from his perspective.

Regards

OK, editorial control, aka my wife, is happy with slider in centre of page, so the question lapses.
Thank you for your interest and suggestions.
Regards

Hi @mistral7-wporg,

The way you can do that is by adding a similar CSS rule to your theme’s stylesheet.

.metaslider {
    float: right;
}

But happy to hear all is good ??

Hi kbatdorf (@kbat82),
I have sucessfully placed sliders on pages but I can’t get them to show on generated Categories even though I have sucessfully placed images with html on them with ot without html.
I place the [metaslider id=”####”] at he top of the page, but all I get is the text on the page and no slideshow.
I also tried the css above but nothing changed.

Hi @hostga,

Can you send me a link to a page that is having an issue?

Hi kbatdorf (@kbat82),
Here is a linkt to the page, you will see the Megaslider code on the left under the title zand a still image I was able to place on the right where I would like to place the small slide show.

Hi @hostga,

On the settings page you will see the code to copy/paste that includes the PHP functions too. I think you need to use that one. If will look like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[metaslider id=”4394″]’); ?>

Hi(@kbat82),
Thanks for your reply, I have tried all permuitations but can’t get it to work.

[metaslider id=”4394″]
<span style=’position:absolute;z-index:89;left:1250px;top:145px;width:350px;height:88px’>

[metaslider id=”4394″]
</span><br>
Here we list our guides who offer Wildlife and Walking Tours.
With the above I only get the text in brackets on the page under the Title and the Image.
———————————————————–
By copying the code from your email, I get this text in the same two places below
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[metaslider id=”4394″]’); ?>
<span style=’position:absolute;z-index:89;left:1250px;top:145px;width:350px;height:88px’>

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[metaslider id=”4394″]’); ?>
</span><br>

—————————————————-
If I copy the code from the plugin I get no text in either area, but no slideshow either
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[metaslider id=”4394″]’); ?>
<span style=’position:absolute;z-index:89;left:1250px;top:145px;width:350px;height:88px’>

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[metaslider id=”4394″]’); ?>
</span><br>

——————————–
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[metaslider id=”4394″]’); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[metaslider id=”4394″]’); ?>
Its strange that both look identican even though the one in the email shows as
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[metaslider id=”4394″]’); ?>
but changes to the top one when I save the page
I can always leave a single photo, but it would be better if I can put a small slideshow.
On the pages I created myself, the larger slideshows look great.

Hi @hostga,

I didn’t realize this was an old issue. Can you open a new one?

Hi,
How do I do that?
