Changing Main Picture (slider?) on Home Page

  • Would someone mind providing instructions on how to change the main demo picture of the girl lying on her back? I’m not seeing any option within the Customize tab or within the style.css.

    Also, what do I need to do to get the boxed layout like the demo?

    Thanks

    Hello erikschefler,

    Here is two methods :

    1. Install Meta Slider plugin (create slider from it. Dashboard >> Meta Slider) and select meta slider option from Choose a Slider option from theme customizer (Theme Customizing >> Slider Options).

    2. Edit theme file
    You to edit homepage-slider.php file located at wp-content/themes/nikkon/templates/slider/ directory.
    find line and replace image url from it.

    Example:


    Note : All Changes you done any file are gone when you update theme. So prefer Child Theme

    Hope this will helps you.

    Create a post catagory , ‘slides’ for example (and remember the ID of your slides catagory)
    Create a post , and make sure you set the featured image (that will be the picture used in the frontpage slider) and set the slides catagory you just created.

    Next : in your theme setup choose slider , set it to default slider and fill out the post catagory that contains your slider images…

    voila it works ….

    You can make several posts as long as they are the proper catagory and contain the featured image …

    i have it running since this week https://portfolio.moopix.nl

    BTW i changed the transition time and the displaytime , that you do need to changbe in the theme , the rest is configurable through GUI ..

    good luck

    oh and by the way .. resolution of 1200 x 440 is great for the slides , it will fill out properly @ the default settings
