Is it possible to add a widget area over a fullwidth easy slider item?
The theme allows me to use a caption but that gives limited ability to format and style this; placing a widget over the the slider would be really useful and flexible.
I found this in the documentation so I’m hoping a similar technique could be used
If so could you provide the appropriate guidance here please? Thanks in advance!

you can create and add a custom widget area. Go to Appearance->Widgets and create a new widget area. Then go and edit your page and choose “Widget Area” element from ALB.

I would like to add a widget on top of a fullwidth easy slider, instead of using the caption option.
The fullwidth easy slider allows me to add images or videos into a slideshow. However when it comes to adding an overlay the options are pretty limited: I can add a caption title, text, and a button. I can add a different caption for each slide, or keep the same one on all of them. This is a good start but doesn’t give me the flexibility I would really like.
I have some extra functionality in a widget on my website and would like to be able to place this on top of the fullwidth easy slider so I can get a slideshow and give customers the extra functionality needed. I can’t do this with the default caption/button options.
I can’t see a way to do this (have checked the documentation & shortcodes but didn’t see a solution). However I did see the tip about adding a widget area to the header, and wondered if there might be a similar custom way of adding this for the main page content when it displays a fullwidth easy slider? Thanks for taking the time to read and answer this.

it would require a huge amount of time and customization of the theme and that is why you would need to hire a freelance developer for this job.
Cheers!
