How to add a slider ?

Often themes come with a specific home page template.

Have you created a new page and then on the left hand side of the page editor examine the ‘page template’ drop down box and select a template that looks like it is the home page template. Publish the page

Then go to Settings->Reading and set the ‘Front page displays’ to static page and then choose the page you created that has uses the homepage template from your theme.

Additionally, you might need to create the slider content. That will either be done somewhere under Appearance->Theme Options *or* inspect all the menu options down the left-hand-side; there might be a specif slider post type that you need to use to create a new slider.

There shoudl be some instructions that came with your theme about how to do it.

Actually I took a closer look at theme. It is also possible that hte slider is generated automatically from the product categories and the product category images.

If the suggestions in my previous post don’t make any sense then try lookign closely at your category setups and make sure the categories have images. Maybe you need to define which categories go into the slider.

If you use a commercial theme or plugin and need support, please go to their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations. Doing this will provide the developer with the income they need to make WordPress awesome.
Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

hi, the Template i use is free this is this one https://demo.crocoblock.com/wp-themes/jewelry-jigoshop but i don’t know why it is not working properly i need some help please. I added images for the slider but is doesnt display while in the demo it is working fine.

There is also bug with payment and cart plugin could someone help me please i realy need help ?

I already contacted the support of the Template website but no reply at all !!

I downloaded the theme and installed it in my sandbox. I had to install the Cheery Framework and the required ‘jigoshop’ plugin.

I then set one of my pages to have the template Home Page.

I then went to Settings->Reading and set the ‘Front page displays’ to A static page and set the front page to the same page that I just gave the Home Page template to.

I then went to Slides->Add new and added two slides. I gave each slide a title, caption and URL and MOST IMPORTANTLY gave each slide a Featured image and then published each slide.

Now when I look at my sandbox front page I can see the slider functioning correctly.

So I think it all works and it works in a normal WordPress way.

If you have followed these steps and it isn’t working I suggest:

a) Ensure all your themes and plugins and your WordPress code are all updated to the latest versions
b) Ensure your front page is a static page with template Home Page
c) Contact the Crocoblock theme developers for more help – particularly if you think there really is a bug in the payment system.

Please note my sandbox is for playing and testing various WordPress things; it’s theme and state changes regularly. At 20150516 it is showing the Jigoshop theme with a working slider. For history I have preserved its current state on the Waybackmachine.

hi which url did you give please ?

And how to set my home page to have the home page Template ?

I do not understand your question ‘Which URL did you give please?’

To set your home page template go to ‘Pages->All pages’ and click to edit your home page content.

In the Page Editor on the right-hand-side of the screen about half way down there is a dropdown box called ‘Template’. Click on ‘Home Page’ in the template box.

Now click the ‘Update’ button to save your changes.

Thank u very much the pb has been fixed. the pb was i didn’t put home page as Template.
