Promotion Slider – Featured Images Not Loading

  • I’m using a custom theme and have installed Promotion Slider to handle a rotating banner on the home page using the PHP below hard coded into the header.php file.

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[promoslider id="home" category="home" width=1179px height=353px]'); ?>

    I’ve added a home category and set featured images for three promotions

    – slide 1
    – slide 2
    – slide 3

    The URL for the site is https://www.hrg-nebraska.com/wordpress. Still a work in progress.

    Any feedback is appreciated!

  • Can you verify that you have set the featured images. Just go to the promotion editing screen for each slide and find the ‘Set Featured Image’ box. Does an image appear inside this box?

    Hi Micah,

    Thanks for the quick response. I’ve set the featured image for all 3 promotions. Link to screen capture is below.

    Thanks!

    Dear Micah,

    I do not understand a single thing in your explanations, so please keep it simple:

    Where do I put the pictures to display?

    How do I call the pictures?
    Is it something like:
    ===
    <td>
    <img src=”images/header 001.jpg” width=”1000″ height=”200″>
    </td>

    <td>
    <img src=”images/header 002.jpg” width=”1000″ height=”200″>
    </td>

    etc.
    ===
    I did not see a content file or an example to solve this or I did not notice it as an example because I maybe overlooked the text “example”

    When I go to the tab Promotions-> New promotions What do I put there in the large empty field (again: no example or screenshot)

    I think that you as developer find it so natural but me as non English speaking foreigner must be taken by the hand as a child.

    Please explain in layman words every vital step so I know where to start populating

    @sotexis,

    Take a look at the screenshot posted just before your comment. The featured image is the image in the ‘Featured Image’ box on the lower right. When the image hasn’t been set, there will be a text link there that says “Set the featured image”. When you click this link, you can upload an image or select one from your media library. Just be sure to use the ‘Use as featured image’ link once you choose your image.

    All you do to display the promotions (and images) is use the shortcode anywhere on your site. You can drop this in any content area in WordPress: [promoslider]. You can also drop this into any theme template: <?php echo do_shortcode('[promoslider]'); ?>.
