    Hi Folks,

    I am using Advanced Layout Slider as the header to all pages for my site, which works great, but I also need to add it to all blog posts. I saw a thread on this forum from over a year ago, which requires an update to the theme code, but I noticed in the Advanced Layout Slider there’s a setting for “Configure Post Options” that brings up a dialogue that might allow my header slider to be added to all blog posts. Unfortunately once you open this dialogue box you can’t take any actions from there.

    Should this work? Or do I still need to go into the code for this functionality?

    FYI – I’m not using the logo as header b/c there is too much information in the header to be considered a logo.

    Many thanks for your help!

    Gabe

    Hey gabrielq2000!

    That option is for displaying blog posts inside the LayerSlider as slides instead of manually setting the slide images.

    If your trying to display a LayerSlider at the top of your blog post single view then you can try using our shortcode.

    [av_layerslider id='3']

    But keep in mind that it was not meant to be used on posts.

    Regards,

    Hi Elliott, thanks for the reply!

    I see the option there within the layer slider, but oddly there doesn’t seem to be any way to take action. I see it under “Configure Post Options.” It brings up the blog posts, but not sure what the next step is. God, apologies if this is a stupid question, but…what’s the next step? Ha…

    I’ve tried it on a few different browsers to see if the options are laid out differently, but I haven’t noticed anything.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks in advance,
    Gabe

    Hey!

    Your misunderstanding, that option is for displaying posts inside the LayerSlider. I think what your trying to do is display the LayerSlider at the top of each of your blog posts correct?

    This is kind of difficult and bordering on custom work. It was not meant to be used on posts but I suppose you could try using the do_shortcode in the single.php template though.

    In the single.php file on line 24 you should see this.

    <div class='container_wrap container_wrap_first main_color <?php avia_layout_class( 'main' ); ?>'>

    You could try adding this above it.

    <?php echo do_shortcode("[av_layerslider id='3']"); ?>

    But it’s probably going to have layout issues.

    Regards,
    Elliott
