Make Featured Slider appear on all pages?

What theme are you using and is your featured slider a plugin or is it built into your theme? If its a plugin, can you find a snippet of code in the plugins documentation that shows you how to hard code the featured slider onto your themes template files? Can you provide a link?

I’m using Simple Catch, the slider is built into the theme itself. I thought I was posting in Simple Catch’s support, my bad. But here is the link to the theme itself: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/simple-catch

I’ve been digging around the php, and as far as I can tell it has been setup to only display on the homepage. I’m not terribly familiar with PHP, but I tried changing it to appear on all pages and it won’t go through.

/**
 * Display slider or breadcrumb on header
 *
 * If the page is home or front page, slider is displayed.
 * In other pages, breadcrumb will display if exist bread
 */
function simplecatch_sliderbreadcrumb() {

	// If the page is home or front page
	if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) :
		// display featured slider
		if ( function_exists( 'simplecatch_sliders' ) ):
			simplecatch_sliders();
		endif;
	else :
		// if breadcrumb is not empty, display breadcrumb
		if ( function_exists( 'bcn_display_list' ) ):
			echo '<div class="breadcrumb">
					<ul>';
						bcn_display_list();
			 	echo '</ul>
					<div class="row-end"></div>
				</div> <!-- .breadcrumb -->';
		endif; 

  	endif;
} // simplecatch_sliderbreadcrumb

This seems to be what is preventing me from getting this on any other page. I’ve honestly never worked with breadcrumbs before, so I have no idea what to do there.

Oh, ok…. I have simple catch, give me about an hour and I will provide you the changes you need to make.

Oh awesome, I appreciate it.

Well, I was able to get the slider to display on every page that I created but the problem I found was that it started causing some other problems. Your best bet may be to go to the simple catch forums and ask them. I know it can be done easily by editing the en-queue call on the simplecatch_functions.php file and also copying and pasting the snippet from the header.php into the page.php but like I said, it was causing some minor issues. Sorry I couldn’t be more help but your question might be better for the theme developer.

yes you need to build child theme and then customize function simplecatch_sliderbreadcrumb() and simplecatch_scripts_method() where you have to remove if condition:

if ( is_home() || is_front_page() )

If you are still confused with the code and want easy click option then you can upgrade to Simple Catch Pro Theme.

Hey Sakin

I am trying to make the slider display on all pages, but I am unable to delete the if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) from the simplecatch_sliderbreadcrumb()

Could you please be a little more detailed on how to do it?

Thank you

@sigurdur81: You just need to remove php condition if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) :

But if you are not comfortable editing the theme then you can upgrade to Simple Catch Pro then there is option to add it in all pages. Further, there is option to choose between Featured Image Slider and Featured Post Slider.

When I do the site gives me a server error!

It looks like this after I remove:

* Display slider or breadcrumb on header
*
* If the page is home or front page, slider is displayed.
* In other pages, breadcrumb will display if exist bread
*/
function simplecatch_sliderbreadcrumb() {

// If the page is home or front page

// display featured slider
if ( function_exists( ‘simplecatch_sliders’ ) ):
simplecatch_sliders();
endif;
else :
// if breadcrumb is not empty, display breadcrumb
if ( function_exists( ‘bcn_display_list’ ) ):
echo ‘<div class=”breadcrumb”>

‘;
bcn_display_list();
echo ‘

<div class=”row-end”></div>
</div> <!– .breadcrumb –>’;
endif;

endif;
} // simplecatch_sliderbreadcrumb

/**
* Display slider or breadcrumb on header
*
*/
function simplecatch_sliderbreadcrumb() {

// display featured slider
if ( function_exists( ‘simplecatch_sliders’ ) ):
simplecatch_sliders();
endif;

if ( ( !is_home() || !is_front_page() ) && function_exists( ‘bcn_display_list’ ) ) :
echo ‘<div class=”breadcrumb”>

‘;
bcn_display_list();
echo ‘

<div class=”row-end”></div>
</div> <!– .breadcrumb –>’;
endif;
} // simplecatch_sliderbreadcrumb

That worked but I get double of the circles below.

Circles= number of slides.

only in the other pages than home page

I fixed it. Thank you for all the help !!
