Front Page and Codeingiter Integration

Good Morning,

I am in process of integrating an existing CodeIgniter site to incorporate the Enfold WordPress theme for styling the majority of the content.

This is done through calling WordPress “require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ ); ” in codeigniter index.php file.

However as this method does not load all of the Enfold wordpress theme configuration the Front Page does not display the correct Full Width Slider instead it is wrapping this slider inside content and article div’s.

I believe that this due to the FrontPage ID check not being returned correctly and therefore as Part of “template-builder.php”
//check first builder element. if its a section or a fullwidth slider we dont need to create the default openeing divs here
$first_el = isset(ShortcodeHelper::$tree[0]) ? ShortcodeHelper::$tree[0] : false;
$last_el = !empty(ShortcodeHelper::$tree) ? end(ShortcodeHelper::$tree) : false;
if(!$first_el || !in_array($first_el[‘tag’], array(‘av_section’,’av_layerslider’,’av_slideshow_full’, ‘av_fullscreen’) ) )
{
echo avia_new_section(array(‘close’=>false));
}

Is there a way to create new template that could mimic the front page or way could manually override the front page checks.

And display the full width slider without it needing to actually be recognised as the front page assigned in the theme settings.

Cheers

Paul
