I have been searching for a solution and can not seem to find one. I duplicated the layer slider and edited it. When I try to use the short code in the “text editor” on a page (also tried in the reg editor too) it is just showing the code. What is wrong?
Also, I can’t seem to edit the name of the new duplicated slider.
And one more thing, in the drop down of the sliders in the advanced layout editor, it is only showing 2 sliders, when I have 4. What can I do to fix these?Thanks
BrendaHi brenda28!
The default Layer Slider use in the theme does not support shortcodes. You need to install the layer slider as a stand alone plugin if you want to use the shortcode. Deactivate the layer slider using this on functions.php, find this code on line 3:
global $avia_config;Below, add this code to deactivate the plugin:
add_theme_support('deactivate_layerslider');Install the Layer Slider plugin on the Plugins panel.

IsmaelOk Thanks I will give it a shot. When i look in my enfold folder, would I just grab the whole config-layerslider folder or do I go into there and grab the layerslider folder to install as a regular plugin?
Will it lose the sliders I have already created?Thanks
BrendaHey!
No, you would need to purchase the plugin on its own and disable the built in one. The stand alone doesn’t have the advanced layout builder integration but it does have all the regular features of the plugin independent of the theme.
Cheers!
DevinOh bummer. So what about my other issues? That it is not showing the other sliders I created in the drop down.
Does the version that comes with the theme only allow for 2 sliders?
As long as the sliders are saved then they should be showing in the LayerSlider element. No hard limits or anything on the number of them. For example my live dev install of the theme has 10 or twelve different sliders listed and they all show in the advanced layout builder element dropdown.
Try re-naming them and make sure the name only uses plain characters just in case there is an issue there. If that doesn’t work you can also try deactivating any plugins that are active just in case there is an odd conflict there.
Thank you for the question and answers. If the layerslider short code is not working. How can we add layerslider element into a layout box. I try to drag the layerslider element into 3/4 layout element, but it doesn’t allow me to do so.
I want layerslider to be in 3/4 column width, then have some other elements in the 1/4 column. How can I achieve that?Hi @tajenli,
The LayerSlider element can only be a full width element. So it isn’t possible right now to put it into a column element. It is unfortunately a limitation of the themes implementation of the LayerSlider so that it will work within the avia layout builder.
Regards,
Devin
