Replace Header Image with Slider

  • Can anyone tell me how to replace my header image with a slider? I downloaded the UR Image Slider Plugin, but it only gave me a short code that I could put in the page or post. Anyone know how I can put this slider in the place of my current header image? Thanks a bunch.

    That would depend on how the theme is coded. Not all themes are built the same. What I would recommend is creating a child theme and working with that. At least then if the theme updates, you won’t lose any modifications.

    Ok so if I create a child theme, then what would I do? Are you able to take a look at the site and direct me? I currently have a header image that is set to randomize (Chateau Theme) but I’d really like to replace it with a slider.

    Is it this theme: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/chateau/

    If so, you would have to ask: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/themes The main reason is not many on these forums have a .com account as they are two different sites. ??

    Are you able to take a look at the site and direct me?

    What I can say is that the code you would need to change may reside in the header.php file. So you would duplicate that file in your child theme and make the changes on that file. I’m not too familiar with the theme’s structure to know what you would have to change exactly, though. ??
