problem replacing header image with slideshow

The slideshow and the logo are in their own containers on two different lines, if you wanted them next to each other you would have to size those containers to fit, and float them.

You’d also have to resize the slideshow and slide images to fit that space next to the logo.

No, I want the slide show to replace the header image in its normal position below any header widgets (or the title and tagline if visible). In this case it’s appearing above everything. I also can’t get the slide show to replace the header image on a per-page basis, although I’ve tried all the suggested methods. Shouldn’t there be a simple way to substitute the correctly sized slide show for the header image?

I’m working with the Weaver II Pro template, by the way. Meteor Slides is a great plugin apart from the apparent complications of substituting the slideshow for the header image. Am I missing something obvious?

Every theme is different, anything outside of the standard page/post content area is going to be custom.

The built in support that Weaver has is to add the slideshow to a certain area via the shortcode. That is fixed to that area and only supports one slideshow via that shortcode.

If you want it to be dynamic, you have to use PHP and hook it into the header in the proper spot, or edit the header file directly and insert it.

If you want a different slideshow on each page, you might try using slideshows with slugs that match the pages slugs and dynamically changing the slideshow based on the page:

In the Weaver II settings, go to Main Options > Header and under the Header Widget Area section check that you haven’t ticked this option: “Display After Header Image”.

If unticking that option doesn’t solve the issue, have a search and/or post on the Weaver II Forum. There are a number of helpful threads about Meteor Slides.

@gillian Cool, I didn’t even know Weaver had that option!

Weaver’s got more options than you can poke a stick at ??

I would need several sticks…

Thanks guys. I’ll work on it and post results.

No problem, let me know if you have any more issues with it.
