LayerSlider will not load on homepage

Ok so I think I am on to something… this piece of code, displays the blog enfold grid style the wya I like it, its found in index.php.

But the catch is, right now if you display that nice blog style, you dont get to use the page function in wordpress to add anything to top or below it, so cant add layerslider, cant add text nothing. its just a flat display of blogs….

When I copy this code on to other files, like page.php, it actually displays the blog piece like I want…

So Im trying to now figure out how to put this on my ABOUT page, which I have looking all nice and pretty… I tried adding it to page.php but it didnt work, my about page must be coming from somewhere else. Trying to figure out where… the code is

<div class=’container_wrap main_color <?php avia_layout_class( ‘main’ ); ?>’>

<div class=’container template-blog ‘>

<div class=’content <?php avia_layout_class( ‘content’ ); ?> units’>

<?php

if(avia_get_option(‘blog_style’,’multi-big’) == ‘blog-grid’)

{

$atts = array(‘type’ => ‘grid’, ‘items’ => get_option(‘posts_per_page’), ‘columns’=> 3, ‘class’=>’avia-builder-el-no-sibling’, ‘paginate’=>’yes’);

$blog = new avia_post_slider($atts);

$blog->query_entries();

echo “<div class=’entry-content’>”.$blog->html().”</div>”;

}

else

{

/* Run the loop to output the posts.

* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file

* called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.

*/

$more = 0;

get_template_part( ‘includes/loop’, ‘index’ );

}

?>

<!–end content–>

</div>

<?php

wp_reset_query();

//get the sidebar

$avia_config = ‘blog’;

if(is_front_page()) $avia_config = “frontpage”;

get_sidebar();

?>

</div><!–end container–>

So that works for me…. now layer slider is on top working properly. my page edits via advance editor works and places whatever I putin there on topl.. then finally the pasted index.php code I brought over is loaded last right above the footer, then the footer itself.

This resolves my problem of utilizing the nice blog grid style feature from this theme into the homepage along with the layer slider and some page features.

Only disadvantage now is if I wanted to add something AFTER the index.php blog thing, Im not able to do it via the page editor since it loads it all on top. I might be able to figure it out but luckily this is exaclty the design for my needs so Im good.

Hope this solution helps! If someone knows a more cleaner solution, Id still be interested! :)
