    Hi guys,
    this is my site .
    As you can see I have a background slider plug-in right now.
    The problem is that when the images change there are glitches.
    The plug-in is old and it hasn’t been updated in years. That’s why i want to change in with Smart WD. Is it possible for it to be used the same way (Full width background)? I need it only on my home page.
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards, Vlad!

    @vlad,

    Thank you for your interest in our product. Yes, that’s possible to use the plugin only for homepage in full-width. Thank you.

    @kartus,

    Install the plugin. Create the slider and in settings section set it to be full width. Then on your homepage add the slider shortcode. It should be either a page or a homepage.php file. Note that if it’s a .php file you should add php shortcode, if that’s a standard page, typical WordPress shortcode will do just fine. Thank you.

    Hi. Again ty for your response.
    I’m really sorry to keep bothering you but I have an issue.
    First of all whenever I try to insert the code in my home.php or front-page.php (not sure if this one is for the homepage) nothing happens. The slideshow appears when i add the code in header.php (or footer.php).
    When I do that the slideshow moves my menu (up or down, depending on which line and php file I edit). I need the menu and the logo to be over the the slide. Now a gray bar appears behind it.
    How can I fix that?
    Again, I’m really sorry for bothering you with this, but my php understanding is very (very) novice.
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards, Vlad!

    Can you post how you add your code in your php file? Maybe there is a “if” condition before your content.

    *Please always be reminded to add the code here with backticks.

    <head>

		<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>"/>
		<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

		<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>

		<link rel="profile" href="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11"/>
		<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>"/>

		<?php wp_head(); ?>
	</head>
<?php wd_slider(1); ?> !!!!!!!!!!!!!
<body <?php body_class(); ?>>

<?php responsive_container(); // before container hook ?>
<div id="container" class="hfeed">

    The plug-in code with !!!!!!! after it.
    This is when it is inserted in the header.php. This way the slideshow displays on every page.

    @kartus,

    Checking out your site, we have figured it out that the changes should made in another file rather than header.php. But what’s the file depends on your theme and we cannot tell it without checking it out. In any case the code should be added before “wpfront-notification-bar-spacer” id container.

    If you need further assistance with the file, I will require you to contact our support team at support[at]web-dorado.com for checking out the back end.

    Hello Sona.
    Again I’m really grateful for your assistance by now.
    I figured out a way to bypass the php usage.
    I decided to create a page named Home, and set it as the homepage via the theme’s options (static front page). In theory it should look the same as the one i was trying to make. Right now i will try to do it on my own, but still can you give me some hints on how to make the slideshow as a page/post background?

    @kartus,

    You should create a slider set it to full-width. Then add the slider as a shortcode to that page. Go to the Page. Here you will see “Insert Slider” button with a Slider icon. Press the button, Select the slider and press Insert.

    Please mark this as solved if it is. Thanks!
